Hi,

 I converted my InstallShield 5.0 project to 6.22 but retained by old script(i.e did not convert it to event based).

In 5.0 I used to call uninstinitialize and uninstuninitialize functions during uninstallation. How do I do this in InstallShield 6.22?

Use onmaintuibefore and onmainuiafter.  Insert the functionality from the old functions into these using installscript.

Can I still call the functions which were in by uninstall.dll from the OnMainUIBefore() and OnMaintUIAfter()????

Do I need to change anything in my uninstallstring?

No the default OnMaintUIBefore/After events will take the place of the uninstall functions.

A subequent run of the same install will then give the user a choice of add/remove components, reinstall everything, or just remove it all.

I had similar questions where I inherted such an install and was also just starting out.  Here's a link to that forum:
