Hi, How would I remove an Internet Shortcut added using the InstallScript methods provided in this article: Q111350: CODE: Creating an Internet Shortcut Item in InstallScript, when my product is being uninstalled?
This is my function call....
function CreateWebAppShortcut(hMSI)
Presumably the hMSI has some property I can use to detect weither the product is being installed or uninstalled or in maintenance mode? What would I check to find out?
So I could have instead function call
function WebAppShortcut(hMSI) which could be called by a custom action in exec mode and the method could know what its got to do either add or remove by checking the hMSI handle property.
Typically you would either create a condition on the custom action which invokes this code, or you would evaluate a condition in the script itself. In either case, I would recommend tying it to the installation action state of a component in your install. Per Conditional Statement Syntax, the syntax would look like $component-name > 2, or $component-name = 2, depending on whether you wanted to detect installation or uninstallation.
Hi, thanks for answering. So i could test for INSTALLSTATE_ABSENT of one of my always installed features to detect if installing, thanks. My other question was how to delete the shortcut created using the installscript method, any ideas?
