Controlling placement of Uninstaller EXE

[meercat]

Hi,

How does one go about controlling the placement of the uninstaller EXE. At the moment, it is being placed in the directory from which I launch the installer, but I want it to be in the application's program directory, which is where the uninstall log is going.

Thanks
Alex

Alex,

Of course, it is NOT placed in the directory from which you launch the installer. It's (by default) installed to main installation directory.

See "General Information" -> "Product Properties" -> Uninstall Name and Uninstall Log entries.

If this is not the case, you have changed it :)

Does this help?

By the way, I fear you have it completely wrong in your script.

You should never ever use something like the following (only if the user really should not change the target folder):

Install File "[MEERCAT_PROGRAMS]\TrekLauncher.exe" to "%_CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES%\Meercat\TrekLauncher.exe" (Always Install) [Version/Date/Time]

%_CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES% is a fixed location.

And you are not using a default installation folder (%_SB_INSTALLDIR%) anywhere in your script.

So if you would like to leave it as it is (really not recommended, but it's your script), you should at least set %_SB_INSTALLDIR% to %_CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES%\Meercat

Does this help?

Alex,

I assume your %_SB_INSTALLDIR% variable is empty (e.g. caused by your "Detect Previous Version" function call).

Just set your %_SB_INSTALLDIR% variable to the installation folder and your are done.
