Uninstalling extra data

[MadDogDean]

Hey all,

Just need a little clarification & direction.

SUF obviously does a lot of uninstalling "behind the scenes", what I need to do is on the 'While Uninstalling" screen, insert a custom action or two.

I haven't tried anything yet, I'm just hoping for a little advice before I tread down the wrong road.

Where can I add my custom actions to occur on the "While Uninstalling" screen, after
e_Stage == UNINSTALL_STAGE_REMOVING_FILES or do I need to build a new screen to do my custom actions. It's weird to have SUF do stuff behind the scenes that you don't really see or can't access - it's like programming on faith!

Any pointers are appreciated.

Cheers,
MadDogDean

I suggest adding a new dialog to the After Uninstalling sequence, possibly a Custom Progress screen, if you want to show progress during the removal of files/folders untouched by the default uninstaller script. Move it in front of the Finished Uninstall screen, and do what you need.

Hey Ulrich,

Thanks, that was my first thought and also how I was testing my theory yesterday. I just thought there should be a way to tie it into the "While Uninstalling" screen, but I think I'll just go with the custom screen.

Cheers,
Dean
