Uninstalling app prereq's?

Hello,

I'm installing SQL Express as an app prereq. Is there a way to uninstall it (or its instance) when my app is uninstalled? If I have to do it "by hand" is there a way to generate the correct command line based on the options selected in IA?

Thanks!

Keith

You will need to do it by hand, as InstallAware treats prereqs as system level updates which should not normally be uninstalled (such as .NET).

You should be able to do this easily using the (Un)Install MSI Setup plug-in though. If you look in the SQL Server documentation, the command line parameters to pass to the MSI file should be easy to find.
