uninstall problem

[ugamw]

I am using Start Up 6.0 to install multiple applications, but if I uninstall one of them, the uninstall feature doesn't work on the other applications. It seems to be deleting irunin.ini from all installations.

Re: uninstall problem

Are you launching install executables from your install, or are you grouping your application files into "Packages" and installing them using that method?

If you are launching an install from your main installation, Setup Factory does not know what is contained within those other installations, therefore the only file that will be uninstalled is the installation executable, not it's contents.

There is one possible solution. You can find information about the feature in the following Knowledge Base article:

Or if you have created uninstall programs for the other applications, you could possibly launch the uninstall programs for the other applications from your main Setup Factory uninstall.

Hope that helps.

Re: uninstall problem

I am using the shell to install 3 different programs developed using setup factory 6.0 and one other software (DtSearch). I could unistall one program developed with setup 6.0 but then the other two would not uninstall. DtSearch will still uninstall regardless. Initially I thought using the shell was creating the problem where I could uninstall one application but then the others would not uninstall but then I reinstalled each application independently. The same problem exists when I tried to uninstall. My conclusion is the multiple load using shell is ok, but there is a problem with uninstall when more than one program is loaded using setup 6.0 as the compiler. Also as a seperate note - I did not have this problem using setup 5.0. Any help is appeciated.

Re: uninstall problem

I first want you to make sure you are using the latest build of the product, 6.0.1.2. You can find full build details under HELP->ABOUT SETUP FACTORY.

I believe the problem here may be that your uninstall entries for each of your applications are not unique and are therefore maybe getting overwritten. It's hard to tell without looking at the projects, however from your description I assume that your shell install is not creating an uninstall. The applications you are launching from this shell are stand alone installs, each of them with their own uninstall program. So look at the entries in DESIGN->UNINSTALL to see if each of your products has a unique location and Registry location for each install.
