You posted this question in two sections of this forum. Which project type are you using:
- "Basic MSI"
- "InstallScript MSI" (not recommended)
- (pure) "InstallScript"

Basic MSI .. any idea?

[Stefan Krueger]

Add a custom action to run the drop script, and use UNINSTDB as a condition for this custom action.
Or if you are running InstallShield X or above, add the drop script to the SQL Server view and add UNINSTDB as a condition.

Hi..

I did it but it still not working.. I meant the database still dropped although I have setted the SQL script run time condition to UNINSTDB <> "" .. BTW .. I am using IS 10.5.. any comment?

Thanks

Did you generate a log to check the ´real value of UNINSTDB?
