How to presist Public Properties between Install & UnInstall?
How to presist/preserve Public Properties between Install & UnInstall?
While launching MSI package, I take some input from user in public properties via command line parameters. I can get modified property values in Install phase.
However, while UnInstalling these public properties don't preserve their values. They contain original unmodified values. I need, during UnInstall, the properties values that were modified during Install phase?
How can I do that? I am using InstallShield 2010 Basic MSI project.
Thanks

You have to do this manually. One approach would be to set registry keys in a known location (perhaps under the application's Uninstall key, or its HKLM\Software\... key), and to read them in with system searches.
