Hi,
Is it posible to call msiexec.exe in a custom action?  If not (which is what I suspect), how can I call an .exe that will launch msiexec.exe when setup exit?  What I want to do is at the end of my uninstallation, I want to call another uninstall.

Thanks,
David

Hi
It is posible to launch msiexec from a CA but only from the
UI sequence.

Here is

Code Sample

if (LaunchAppAndWait("MSIEXEC", sCommandLine, WAIT) < 0) then MessageBox ("Unable to uninstall "+ szValueName +"\n.Please uninstall manually.",INFORMATION);         endif;

Hope this will help

Thanks for responding so quickly.  I understand the code logic but I am not familiar with the function "LaunchAppAndWait".  What language is it?
