My Deinstall-function from version 5.5 doesn´t work under version 6.3
I use an scriptbased setup. After starting the setup an ask on dialogs some things,
i ask, if the user would deinstall the existing version of my program.
if i realize, existing program was installed with Install Shield 5.5, I deinstalled with:

     stringA = WINDIR + "\\IsUn0407.exe";
     stringB = " \-fC:\\ProgrammPath\\Uninst.isu";
     LaunchAppAndWait (stringA,stringB,WAIT);

because this code doesn´t work under InstallShield 6.3 (the help-Files didn´t tell help me realy, also the Help-Guids), so I try next:
if the program was installed with the InstallShield 6.3 an I try to deinstall with:
    stringA = "\"" + DISK1TARGET + "\\setup.exe\"" + " -uninst";
    LaunchAppAndWait (stringA, "", WAIT);            

it doesn´t work. However, the error-Messages show, that the program try to write and open the setup-file on the DISK1TARGET-place again. I try to change the Deinstall-path, but i can´t do it.

Thank you for your help !
