noob question: Force an uninstall before install?

Hi,

Is there a way to do an uninstall before an install in SetupBuilder?

Thanks for any help,

Jay

You can use the "Detect Previous Version..." script function to detect the
path of a previously SetupBuilder distributed version of your product.

If the function succeeds, %_SB_TMP% contains the uninstall string (if
available). You can use this value in a "Run Command Line..." script
function to force an uninstall.

That works like a charm. Thank you.
