Hello,

I was very impressed from your software and was one step before buying developer edition, until something realliy disapointing happend:
I was created Installation project and everything was worked fine, my project uses lots of Scripting cose it's installation is not simple (it's addon for some game). On some step, exactly when I've added script code to detect and uninstall prev version, my uninstall_*.exe doesn't appear.
The first thing I was tried is to comment the uninstall part, it didn't help.
I tried to remove custom installation script, it didn't help.
I tried to run with debug, everything looks fine.
I tried to refresh everything and remove uninstall shortcuts and add them, it didn't help.

Hope you could solve this problem
Thanks,
Pavel Sirenko

Pavel,

If I understand you correctly, your problem is that the uninstallation executable does not get created on the target machine, correct?

If this is the case, you can send your script to support (at) lindersoft (dot) com and we'll investigate it for you.

Thanks for the Information.

Another Issue, how can I add "Modify" or "repear" feature to my installation.
Basically I have two features that can be installed, if setup detects installation, it should detect the installed features to modify the current installation. If versions are diffriend, it should uninstall prev version and install rcent version.
I know that it is possible to do that through scripts, but I wanted to know if there is some automatic way to do that.

Thanks,
Pavel Sirenko

Pavel,

Modify and Repair are features of MSI. There is no way to do this automatically in an EXE project.

HTH,

Pavel,

Did you already send the project to our support? As far as I can tell, we have not received it yet.

Thanks,

Pavel,

Well, it will take only one second <g> ;)

You have removed the function that creates the uninstall from your project .

The following is missing:

! Create installation .log
Create Installation Log "[UNINSTALL_LOG]"

Go to Line 73 in your script, and double-click "Set Installation Log Mode..." from the "Script Functions" list. The "Set Installation Log Mode" dialog appears. In the "Installation Log Name" entry field enter [UNINSTALL_LOG].

See attached screenshot.

Hope this helps.
