Hi All,

When I doubleclick my .msi-file after installation, I get the ability to choose to Remove my program. I call several external scripts during my uninstallation, and this works fine here.

My problem is that, when I choose to Uninstall the program in Windows  'Add/remove programs' -interface,
1) I dont´t get any user interfaces like the other uninstall.
2) My scripts aren´t called!

Can anybody tell mere, where to configure this uninstall feature?

Hi Alex,
I think, the “User Interface” sequences will not be called if the user chooses the Remove from the Add/Remove Programs dialog. You should insert your custom actions (scripts) into the “Execute” sequences.

Thanks, I´ll try that...
Actually I started off placing my custom actions in the execute-sequence, but needed some user input to perform in installation, and therefore moved the custom action triggers to the user interface definitions.

It should work if I only move my uninstallation custom actions to the execute-sequence...
