Hi

I have a program based script for my project.
I have the DeInstallStart function in ProcessDataBeforeMove.

This does create the UninstallString key in the registry.

But I want to do some more things for cleanup before the Uninstallation starts.
any suggestions?
As of now I am using the InstallSite example called "Generic Uninstall DLL" which will let me create a Custom DLL and launch that instead.

If anyone is doing a similar thing then I would really need to discuss?I am running into weired problems and also Unistallation Log File can never be found.

Where does it get stored?
How can I create an Uninstallation Log File?

Thanks in anticipation.

Hi,

I do the same thing in some of my setups with no problem. But I dont use DeInstallStart which is obsolite. I suggest that you remove the DeInstallStart stuff and let IS take care of the uninstall log. Add your custom steps before the ComponentRemoveAll(); instead.

If you want to check where your log file is stored, you will have to check the registry  \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\[your product GUID] for the LogFile string entry.
