How to create an install with NO uninstall option

Hi,

I sometimes have a small installation project that just reloads a file or two to a customers PC... usually to fix a problem they may be having.

How can I create this install so that it does not show up in the control panels programs and features list?

Thanks,

George

Dear George,

honestly, I suppose you posted an identical question some time ago.

At any rate and in case you need a very minimal package, which doesn't include any dialog and which only executes a series of commands over the target machine, you may create a project from the "Blank" project template.
A blank project doesn't contain anything by default and it doesn't create any MSI file ... it's just a "blank" script.

Hope this helps you.

Regards

You have a better memory than I do. I must be getting too old for this :-)

I did try to do a search but must not have used the correct search words.

In any case.. thanks for the quick reply here on a Friday.
