No entry in the ADD/REMOVE Programs list

[wxperson99]

Hi,

Is there a way to prevent a very small installer I have from creating an entry in the Add/Remove Programs list?

Thanks,

George

Dear George,

Please have a look at the following link.

So if I read this correctly.

Provided I don't execute the APPLY INSTALL command it will not show up in the ARP list.

My script has NATIVE_ENGINE set to true... so I guess I will just remove the apply intall commands.

Sound correct?

Dear George,

this also depends if you used the "DELAYUNTIL_APPLYCHANGES" pre-defined variable with your native code.

"DELAYUNTIL_APPLYCHANGES: This variable has no effect unless the native code setup engine is being used. Initially FALSE. If this variable is set to TRUE, the native code setup engine will attempt to emulate the behavior of the Windows Installer setup engine by deferring the execution of setup actions until Apply Install has been called. While this may reduce some setup agility, it may be useful in circumstances when emulating setup behavior found in older InstallAware versions is necessary."

So if you used the DELAYUNTIL_APPLYCHANGES pre-defined variable, remove or set it to FALSE and then skip the Apply Install call.

Regards
