I'm working in 2008 in a pure installscript project. I am creating an additional piece to our product installation. The idea is - the applicaiton will be installed, a customer will buy this portion as an add-on. It installs fine, but when I uninstall it, it takes the original installation files as well. How do I prevent this? Thanks
Now when I uninstall- it takes the entire contents of the previous seperate installation of our main product - not just the pieces added in with the seperate add-on installation.
Anyone have an idea of how I could correct this? Thanks

Does the add-on project use the same Product GUID value (in General Information > Product Properties)? Is there a separate entry in Add or Remove Programs for the add-on?
Good question. I don't believe so.. Let me look......
Nope- Different GUIDs... Double checked in the registry..
And other ideas why this would happen? Thanks

Also, you might snoop inside the .ilg uninstall log file for the base and add-on products, after both are installed, to see what inadvertent overlap there might be...
I think I found a solution.. I changed the OnUninstall() to call FeatureRemoveAllInLogOnly(); ANd the other files were not removed... Thanks for all the help Robert! Retz
