InstallAware

Hi,

I am installing a Windows Service and when running uninstall to remove the application, the service is not being removed from the Services Panel.

Can anybody tell me what am I doing wrong here:

Code: Select all

[DEFINE REGION: Perform Uninstallation]
if Variable REMOVE Equals TRUE
  Comment: Uninstall product
  Comment: TO-DO: Insert any additional uninstall commands here
  Apply Uninstall (get result into variable SUCCESS)
  if Variable SUCCESS not Equals ERROR
    if Variable SUCCESS not Equals CANCEL
      Run Program $BootDrive$\\Progytech\\ezCallTrack\\cdrServer\\R2.bat  (WAIT)
         Terminate Program 
      Control Service ezCallTrack_Service: stop and delete on uninstall [wait for completion]
    end
  end
  Set Variable PROGRESS to 100
END REGION

Code: Select all

When the above code run, I expect the service to be removed from the Services Panel, but it is not happening.

Thanks!

I found the problem!!!

The code to handle the service was after the Apply Install, which obviously when getting familiar with IA I figured out it will not work. So just to be on the safe side, I created a new simple script to test the Service control and then noticed that even you selecting an action to be done at the Uninstall level, it does keep the code just before the Apply Install so I re-arranged the original script and it is working fine now.

P.S.
Is there a way, maybe in future version for IA to let the user know that some commands will not work after Apply Install is being issued, maybe at compiling level, to trigger a warning.
