hi all

In fact this is important to gain this way

by include an Uninstaller in your App

so does anyone know how to make a logic exe file

that will hold the uninstaller script

and can do when ever call it

I hope it's clear Question :-\
 
u wanna make a uninstaller for the app?
yeah i know how to do it

it's basically calling the msiexec using a switch and providing u got the product ID code it's easy
 
hi

can you please give me more details how to do it

if with example to download will be better

for newbie like me :-\
 
sorry been busy with exams

yeah sure... ill post one up in one second..



edit/


ok here's what u do

make a new form

change the properties etc.. .

so that it cant be seen

stick this on form load


Code: 
  Try
            System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("msiexec", "/x {EE9FD9BA-BF54-4BF6-A21A-501DFB97524F}")

        Catch

        End Try

note...

the product ID
which is this ->> {EE9FD9BA-BF54-4BF6-A21A-501DFB97524F}")

is unique to the installer u make


so in ur setup and deployment solution

go to it's properties for the solution

u should be able to find the product ID


that's it
replace it and yeah :D
 
Hi Winston

Another Question related to uninstaller

I made a project called uninstaller

Then I write the code that you posted here

Then I added it to my main project

And place it into Application Folder

I made a shortcut and put it in folder

That reside in user Programs Menu

Well is this the Idea of Uninstaller ?

(it works perfectly) but :confused:

When I uninstall my Application

I need to replace product which is default To its name

How can I implement this ?

See the picture please

I am not sure it work but try to replace the product ID code with package file *.msi. It might be able to pull the product name out of this instead of the "this product" stuff.
