windows installer - Installshield: uninstall does not work -
i created installer using installshield 2011. can install software , able uninstall "programs , features" interface.
but if application installed , click on installer again, brings screens stating uninstall , uninstall done. uninstall not happen.
i have remove event remove dialog , in remove table, have files need uninstalled listed install mode 2.
not sure issue is...esp since can uninstall when done "programs , features".
any suggestions/tips?
it useful make proper, verbose log file before trying theorize this. replace paths match requirements:
msiexec.exe /x "c:\test.msi" /l*v! "c:\msilog.log" explanation of command line parameters:
/x = run uninstallation sequence /l*v! "c:\temp\msilog.log"= verbose logging, flush directly log file without buffer
did make modifications remove dialog or standard? , why have added files removefile table? or did happen automagically? not necessary add files removefile table unless generated application , want them removed on uninstall (typically in user profile).
that being said, answered question few days ago relating difference in running uninstall in silent mode versus interactive mode. please read following answer (and associated question): uninstall control panel different remove .msi
updates:
an uninstall reference of different ways msi file can uninstalled: uninstalling msi file command line without using msiexec
if dealing installscript msi file try read reference of setup.exe parameters:
