I wanted to detect whether the setup is being run from Add/Remove programs or not.
I have found the following code snippet but it is not working. The ADDREMOVE system variable is never set to true.
I am using DevStudio 9 and the project type is InstallScript MSI.

The InstallScript system variable ADDREMOVE can be used to detect whether the setup is being run from the Add/Remove Programs or not. For example, in your OnMaintUIBefore event code you can add the following code to detect if the setup is being run from Add/Remove Programs:
if (!ADDREMOVE) then
// Setup is not being run from Add/Remove Programs
else
// Setup is being run from Add/Remove Programs
endif;
Thanks in Advance.

ADDREMOVE applies only to InstalLScript projects, not to Basic MSI or Installcript MSI projects

so is there a way by which this can be done in InstallScript MSI project?
