Uninstall works from folder shortcut but not from Control Pa

Postby PerMalmstedt » Sun Nov 10, 2013 2:44 am

Hi

(On a Windows 7 X64 machine, but same behaviour on x86.)

After installing our application, everything is hunky dory, Patches etc. But if I try to uninstall the application from within Control Panel (Control Panel - Programs - Programs and Features - Uninstall or change a program) the installer starts, I can choose "Remove" but the installer does some sort of installing process instead, and then finishes with a happy "Installation finished".
If I on the other hand start the uninstallation process from the uninstall shortcut in the application Start menu folder it works perfectly, removing everything as it is supposed to.

Any suggestions?

Dear Per,

I can only suppose that you have altered ("probably") the default Un-Install functionality in your main script code.

I may suggest to verify if exist a possible un-wanted behavior, comparing your code with the main script code of a new test project created from scratch.

Hope this helps you.
