Hi,

I dont want to give the option to the user of cancelling during uninstallation. I can disable it if launched from the msi from the cancel button conditions. Can someone please tell me how i can disable it on the progress window if the user launches it from Add/Remove programs?

Thanks
Mahesh

Hello mahesh,
I also wanted to do the same action. Installshield help could give me code to DISABLE THE CANCEL BUTTON.This is it

declare  following variables in a custom action
HWND hRec,hProgressRec;
number nRes;
// following code enables cancel button
hRec = MsiCreateRecord(2);
hProgressRec = MsiCreateRecord(3);
MsiRecordSetInteger(hRec,1,2);
MsiRecordSetInteger(hRec,2,0);
nRes = MsiProcessMessage(hMSI, INSTALLMESSAGE_COMMONDATA, hRec);
// DO the actions which u would like to do
//While the actions are in progress, Cancel will be disabled
// follwing code enables cancel button
                         MsiRecordSetInteger(hRec,1,2);
MsiRecordSetInteger(hRec,2,1);
nRes = MsiProcessMessage(hMSI, INSTALLMESSAGE_COMMONDATA, hRec);

However after u use this code , cancel button vanishes.
i have no workaround for this...See if this suits.
