    Question Uninstall 3rd party app

    Friedrich,
    I'm installing a 3rd party proxy app with my installer. When the uninstaller runs how can I have SB remove that program as well as my app? It installs itself as a service and I know I can use the "stop service" command from within SB to stop it before I uninstall it, but I'm not sure how to actually launch the uninstaller for it. Any ideas? Thanks!

    Hi Kevin,

    You can create a custom uninstall script. If this specific 3rd-party application comes with an .exe uninstall then simply call that from within your uninstall script. If it was a .msi install then simply execute the appropriate uninstall procedure from your uninstall .sbi.

    If there is no uninstall for the 3rd-party install at all then simply execute the necessary steps to remove the components. For example, stop a service and uninstall the service itself and the file(s), etc.

    Does this help?

    Thanks, I'll give that a try. There is no uninstall, it can only be removed from the add/remove program area so I'll try it the way you show.
