Roll back mechanism in installshiled 2011
Hi,
We are trying to implement rollback mechanism in installshield 2011 for anything went wrong or oborted by user means uninstall all software components in reverse order (means from bottom to up).
While making installation for 8770 sever (Alcatel-Lucent product), we are calling some rollback events from install.ini file.
Those rollback events will keep in stack while making installation, just will read from install.ini file (rollback events will not be printed in log also) and not able to perform operations.
I need help, when those rollback events will be called, even installation success or failed also, we are not able to find rollback event operation.
When you perform rollback operation, if anything failed, suould rollback all software components automatically
Please can you help, how do implemet rollback mechanism

Rollback is built-in and automatic ( provided that you don't write your own custom actions ) in InstallShield if you use a Windows Installer (MSI) project type.

Hi Christopher,
Rollback is not builtin mechanism in installshield2011 on windows because while making installating the package, if installation is failed or abort by user, rollback is ot working.
If you try to cancel also nothing happen because it will continue for installation

As I said, it depends. What project type are you using?
