Wow, talk about a far reaching question....
Well, what I do, I look for the uninstall flag in OnMaintUIBefore. If it's there I start calling my uninstall functions.
Such functions include:
GetEnviromentVariables()
StopServices()
KillOpenProcesses()
DropDatabases()
DeleteFiles()
DeleteFolders()
then comes: OnMaintUIAfter()
CleanRegistry()
Cleanup()
These are just the general steps I use to clean up after myself. If you have a more specific question, I could try to answer that.

Hi,
I cannot remove the files in use during the uninstall (namely setup.exe, and data1.cab). The DeleteDir fails on them, of course...
How could i remove them?
Thanks
