Custom Archives in uninstall.jar
Is it possible to reference custom code during the uninstall? It seems the classpath for the uninstall supports an absolute or relative path to the jars. However, depending on how you launch the uninstall relative paths will not work on windows. If you launch the uninstall from Add/Remove Programs the current path is set to the windows directory not the _uninst directory. So what is the best way to use custom code in jar files for the uninstall?

I hope that someone can give you an answer to this. Even if you get the 'additional class paths' set properly, it seems to give an error that run.inf is not in your third party jar file.
Of course it would not be in there, its a third party jar file! Does anyone have a method for properly doing custom actions at uninstall? You can not embed the third party jar files the same way that you do at install time and that is actually what is really needed.
