I am having problems with the value of SUCCESS during uninstall. Here is my code:

if Variable REMOVE Equals TRUE
  Comment: Uninstall product
  Comment: TO-DO: Insert any additional uninstall commands here
  Apply Uninstall (get result into variable SUCCESS)
  Set Variable PROGRESS to 100
  MessageBox: Uninstall - variable success, $SUCCESS$

The MessageBox shows COMPLETE. That means the rest of the code below does not run!

Code: Select all

  if Variable SUCCESS Equals TRUE
    if Variable SUCCESS not Equals Cancel
      
      Unregister Library $TARGETDIR$\\ctText.ocx

I don't know why SUCCESS = COMPLETE when I was expecting SUCCESS to be TRUE.

Do I need to change the IF test for SUCCESS, or have I done something wrong?

Please help!

Why were you expecting SUCCESS to be TRUE? Just open the help file entry for the Apply Changes command - easiest way to do this is by double-clicking the Apply Uninstall line, and then pressing F1. This will bring up the help file topic for the Apply Changes command (you can use the same technique to view context sensitive help for other MSIcode commands). The values that are returned by Apply Changes are enumerated in that topic.
