Thread: Force update of uninstaller exe?

  1. #1

    Question Force update of uninstaller exe?

    I have made an improved uninstaller for a project with a custom uninstaller script, but I notice that the uninstaller exe is not replaced during an update of existing installations. This means that the old sub-optimal uninstaller routine will still be used for those. Is there any way to force updating of the uninstaller? If I manually remove the exe before running the update the file is replaced, but I have so far been unsuccessful doing this as part of the script (I end up with the old exe or no uninstaller exe at all).

    It seems to work if I rename/ delete the old uninstaller exe right before the [ Features ] part of the script. But would be still be interesting to know if there are other ways to do it.
