Uninstall code check:


I want a code to verify the program. If it is open (my setup app), the uninstall process stops and the window closes. If it is closed, the uninstall is complete.


I saw this code, but when deleting a message appears, when ignoring, the deletion...

Just like the title i want to keep and old file i am about to replace and then if the customer ever runs the uninstaller the old file will get replaced. I could not find this topic so that is why i started this new topic. Thanks.

So - I would like to use Autoplay Media Studio to create an executable that would do a few things on standalone workstation where the logged in user is NOT a local administrator:

1. Uninstall a specific piece of software called Code Review

Hello,

my Application installer was created with Setup-Factory-9.
But since I use Setup-factory-9 i have always the same problem with my uninstall-icon under windows. The problem is, that windows loses the uninstall icon/app and I can only uninstall my application with an Cleaner/Uninstaller...

Hi,

I am using Setup Factory 9.5 to create my setup. I would like to use the silent uninstall command line to pass in users options as follows:

"C:\...\Uninstall.exe" "/U:C:\...\uninstall.xml" "/S:C:\...\UnistallOptions.ini"

The UnistallOptions.ini...

I am getting the message, "File in-use, click 'Abort', 'Retry', 'Ignore' when running the uninstall for one of my applications. When I run Process Explorer and search for the indicated file that is in-use, Process Explorer lists uninstall.exe as the application.

During this process,...

I have an application that installs a series of shared COM dll's in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\CompanyName folder.

When I run the uninstall, the uninstall tells me that no other application has registered their use, Is it OK...

Hello

We have an installer that detects the PC language before install and shows a localised installer.. all good.

However, the uninstall language is either always Spanish or English...

When I'm updating an application that I've installed with Setup Factory to a new version, what's the right way to get the "Uninstall" in Windows registered for the new version with the old version removed. As I'm doing it now, my update goes in, applies replacing files as needed, but the result...

When running the uninstaller, we see the same "Installation Complete" dialog as with the installer. Is there a way to change that to an "Uninstallation Complete" dialog?

[FrankDMartinez]

Is there a way to set the name used by the "Uninstall" menu? I did not find any such method in the documentation. Customers might have multiple versions of the software installed and being able to distinguish between the different versions might be useful.

Is there some secret to using UninstallData AddItem? Specifically with UNIDATA_FILES? It seems to work only about 50% of the time. Meaning the logged file sometimes gets removed on uninstall and sometimes doesn't. This is what I am doing in one of the the After Installing Screens:

During my setup, I create lots of global variables and session variables in one of my lua scripts.

Are these automatically part of the uninstall, or do I need to add them somehow to the uninstall?

I have been trying to figure out the best approach to creating a setup that contains selectable packages of which any or all may be installed. My setup creates one install that installs everything.

How should you handle creating a setup where each selectable package can be un-installed...
