Hi,

What is your installation directory? Do you have any rules in the project, say for the uninstaller?

Please share the project file if possible.

Thanks

Hi RamyaVenkatesh,

Thanks for your reply, my problem got fixed, the reason behind the problem was some action in the pre-Installation sections were failing, create uninstalltion action was declared after this action so it was failing to create the uninstaller.

Thanks again...:)
