Add Setup Factory Uninstall Data Item from a Visual Patch installer

[GregSohl]

As I'm sure many user do, we do initial installations with Setup Factory and updates with Visual Patch. At times, with Visual Patch, we will add or remove files.

We'd like to be able to add / remove files from the Setup Factory uninstall data file, from the Visual Patch script.

Is there anyway to do this with Setup Factory's
UninstallData.AddItem
UninstallData.RemoveItem

Or is there another way to do this with manual XML file manipulation?

Thanks.

Visual Patch does not have a built-in function to handle the uninstall file in XML format used by Setup Factory, but you can remove and insert elements in this file using the XML actions available in Visual Patch. If you inspect the file, you'll see that it is quite simple to edit. You could even write your own functions (and save as global so you can share among projects) to make the script more readable.
