Hi,
i have installed a program in WinXP as Administrator.
Now i want to do a deinstall before an installation. The installation of the new programversion is run as "Hauptbenutzer" (or Poweruser?) .
The problem is, that the setup.exe of the orl version, called with -uninstall, will always start the installation prozess and not the uninstall prozess.
Why?
When i run the setup.exe as Admin i can deinstall the program.
How can i find out if a program has to be deinstalled with Admin rights?
Ciao

All IS setups require Administrator privileges to both install & uninstall.
To better enforce this you can add checks such as the following to OnBegin:
