Hello

I have a very strange problem.

For uninstall... if i double-click on the msi or setup.exe, the i get to see the UI. But if i run from Add/Remove programs.. a small dialog box pops up saying that setup is configuring <productname>... a progress bar runs and after sometime, the product is very cleanly removed from the system. My customs actions all get invoked. There are scripts to drop databases and all. They all seem to work. But i dont get to see the UI.
I run the setup on Windows 2000 server. I am using Installshield developer 7.02.

I have disabled the change button in add/remove programs.

Can anyone tell me what is wrong??

Cheers

You have done nothing wrong, this is how Microsoft set things up to run.  Selecting remove from the Add/Remove Programs panel is designed to run an uninstallation with basic UI - that little dialog box you see.  If you select change, it should run through the maintenance UI.

Thank you. That pretty much settles the issue.
