I want to Uninstall a previously installed standard installer(idriver) silently using Basic MSI IS 7. the previously installed applications product code is known. For that i have created a batch file and in that i am giving path of Idriver.exe(full path)and /m{<product code>} /s /f1"responsefile.iss"(in proper name) i have created a response file for the previous product(i.e standard product) by setup/r
and in custom actions i have created new exe of type 34 (Path ref a dirtry) and in that working dir given as support dir(i have batch file in setupfiles) and command line and file name is [SUPPORTDIR]batchfile.bat.. (the setup.iss file i have icluded in batch file). and return processing is syn(ignore exit code)
after this if i give execute sequence after cost finalize the idriver exe wil get open and do something (but not uninstall the product).
but if i mention ui sequence after cost finalize the idriver exe wil run and also uninstall the product.. but i dont want to run though ui sequence since it wont be possible in advertise sequence (for sms). i want to uninstall the older standard product by running execute sequence and running a batch file.
Please some body tel is there any other way so that a standard product can be uninstalled silently uning basic msi installer using exe sequence(not by ui sequence for sms it wont be possible) or by any other way so that advertising can also be possible in that installer...
thanxs in advance....
