Hi All

I'm working with ISWI 2.03 on a Win2000 SP2 machine.

I would like to be able to uninstall another product during
uninstall of my product (only if it exist of course).

The other product is installed with an msi file as well.
This can not be a nested installation case.

How does one do that ?

Thanks for any reply.

If you know the product code of the installed MSI setup, You can deinstall the product with a comand line call of msiexec. But note, this is only possible in the user sequence or in the execute sequence before the InstallInitialize action. You are not able to start a second msiprocess as an deferred custom action during the execute sequence of your setup.
