How to updated the path variable on 'Uninstallation'
We use InstallAnywhere 8.1 to create our application installers for windows.
We add set of entries to PATH variable at the time of installation. These entries does not get cleared on uninstalling the software.
Is there a specific way to do it?
Thanks
Jayan

Okay, it seems most the cases a successful uninstallation does revert the path variable correctly. Not updating the path may be due to local machine problem.

I have used 'Set System Variables' for setting PATH and CLASSPATH variables.
This has two disadvantages:
1. It prepends the entries blindly, without checking if there exists the same entries or not.
2. It doesn't remove the entries on uninstallation.
Is there any other way to add PATH and CLASSPATH values?

Hi jayanmn,
How do you set PATH values? Do you use 'Set System Environment variable' action? I use the same but uninstallation doesn't remove the entries.
