How to uninstall a previous version not built w/IA

Post by munderhill »

We previously used Wise Installer to build our installs. I need to uninstall a previous version of our product that was installed via a Wise installation. Do I change the IA installer Product Code to match and it just works or should I explicitly try to detect the previously installed version (with a different Product Code) and then use scripting to remove it? What are you recommendations and if scripting is indicated, what functions do I use to detect and then remove the previous installed product.

Thanks,
Mike

Dear Mike,

Please have a look at the following link. I used the same plugin to un-install WISE packages.

It helps you to detects an installed product based on the upgrade code.
