Introduction: This article will be useful to know the option available in configuration settings with respect to uninstallation in GUI mode, If the executable is Installed in silent mode(without GUI),Uninstallation wizard does not have GUI mode.
Solution:
If the product is installed silently, we'd like the uninstaller to run in GUI mode by default (if it's double clicked or launched without any arguments),
In order to do this: 1. Create a new project. 2. Installer UI > Look & Feel Settings > General UI Settings > Allowable UI Modes = Select both "GUI" and "Silent" 3. Project > Platforms > Windows > Default Windows UI Mode = Set both Installer UI Mode and Uninstaller UI Mode to "GUI" 4. Project > Platforms > Unix > Default Unix Installer UI Mode = Set both Installer UI Mode and Uninstaller UI Mode to "GUI" 5. Build the project.
Outcome:If you run the installer silently then launch the uninstaller without any arguments, the uninstaller will default to running in GUI mode. If you run the uninstaller with the "-i silent" command line switch, the uninstaller will run silently.
