Greetings friends,

I am using Installshield 2008 Premier edition, I am able to build the Quick patch successfully, and i am doing the following settings Under Quick patch project IDE, In Installation Designer; under Patch Settings select General Information ; Next select Build Settings and at the right hand side pane select the first tab named as Common and in that check the checkbox option Patch Uninstallation Allow Patch to be Uninstalled(Requires Windows Installer 3.0)

After setting this option; where do i find this uninstallation option whether it will display in add/remove program or will it create a shortcut in the start up menu under already installed parent product...

After running the patch i verified in add/remove programs i didn't found; then where exactly it will be present and how to uninstall the patch if present because patch has been run by double clicking Update.exe

Please help..

regards

Which project type are you using?

In MSI, uninstallable patches are displayed in Add/Remove Programs control panel under the entry of the main package. You may need to check the box "display updates" in the control panel.

Hi Stefan

Thanks for the reply

i am using Installscript MSI, even i o check the box "display updates" in the control panel. Indeed didn't found...

And also i tried in path C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information
this folder will be hidden; when i checked in this folder it contains the information of installed setup.... then where patch information will be stored

Then how do i uninstall the quick patch ??

I'm not using the InstallScripot MSI project myself, and since it's a combination of Windows Installer and InstallScxript, with an external user interface, I'm not sure where this information is stored. I wasn't even aware that QuickPatches are possible with this project type.
