Re: Overview of Uninstall

Good clear answer. Perfect. Thank you.

Re: Overview of Uninstall

By default, SetupBuilder adds a "standard" uninstall script to your project (at compile time). At runtime, the log is automatically processed. BTW, if you create a new uninstall include script then you see the source code of a "standard" uninstall.

If you create a "custom" uninstall then this custom uninstall include script is compiled into the setup (instead of the standard one).

Re: Overview of Uninstall

With a customised Uninstall, the function Process Uninstallation Queue takes the Log file and does the uninstall.

With a standard Uninstall, I assume the Log file is automatically processed?

Does SB handle this without me needing to do anything? ie. so the Log file does not get processed twice.?

And similarly, if the standard uninstall has dialogs, and the custom uninstall has dialogs, does SB show both, or just the custom uninstall?

Perfect! Thank you!!!

Now it all works.
And compared to my previous installer, SetUpBuilder is much faster and smoother :-)

Thanks for your help.

Re: Overview of Uninstall

Aha. Belatedly I have read in the PDF that I need to press the GENERATE GUID button. So I now have a GUID.

Re: Overview of Uninstall

Well, SetupBuilder did not remove that for you When you create a new project, the IDE defines (and fills in) all default settings.

Re: Overview of Uninstall

I didn't touch it. Honest :-)
The boxes were mostly all blank, including the Product GUID

Re: Overview of Uninstall

You do not have any Product GUID? Why did you remove that? And why did you "modify" (remove, etc.) all the default settings?
