InstallAware

Hello,
in my setup I have the code below:

If Setup Type is Complete the component "MyTool Client\PrinterDriver" is selected. The printer driver will be also installed.
This works fine.
The problem is and this is what I do not understand.

If I do a uninstall of this product. The printer driver will not be removed If the code is like:

Get Component MyTool Client\PrinterDriver Selection State into Variable SELECTED
MessageBox: Uninstall printert driver, Die var selectd ist $SELECTED$
if Variable SELECTED Equals TRUE
..

The message box always tells "False" and the if statement will not work, so the driver will not be removed.
But why?
When you do the Uninstall the section
if Variable COMPLETE Equals TRUE
Select Component: MyTool Client\PrinterDriver
Select Component: MyTool Client
end

should also be proceeded and the "Component: MyTool Client\PrinterDriver" should also be "True" while uninstalling ?

If I change the code to:
if Variable COMPLETE Equals TRUE
..

then the driver will be removed.

Any idea?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

if Variable MINIMUM Equals TRUE
Deselect Component: MyTool Client\PrinterDriver
else
if Variable COMPLETE Equals TRUE
Select Component: MyTool Client\PrinterDriver
Select Component: MyTool Client
end
end

...

[DEFINE REGION: Perform Uninstallation]
if Variable REMOVE Equals TRUE

Dear Hans,

should also be proceeded and the "Component: MyTool Client\PrinterDriver" should also be "True" while uninstalling ?

Yes it is.

I just tried with a sample and the selection state of a component, it is stored correctly with the Install / Unistall sequence.

If you want I can post the sample I used or if you prefer, you could post a minimal project that replicate your issue and I try will to verify it.

Regards.
