Issue with ROLLBACK during abort
Hi,
I have an issue with ROLLBACK action on my installscript project.
During the installation flow after moving the data i need to make few registry changes to update a key. If this key doesn't exist i call abort.
I have used the keyword "abort" in the installscript.
Before calling "abort" an entry is made in Add/Remove panel. During "abort" action there is no ROLLBACK happening and the entry retains in Add/Remove panel and the folders/files aren't removed.
Found that OnAbort() handler exists in IS2010.
1. Can this be made use of to be called during invoking "abort" command?
2. How to call the ROLLBACK action to remove the folders/files and the entry from Add/Remove panel.
Would like to know if there are any other ways to handle the ROLLBACK action.
Thanks in advance.
Rohit

Installscript project will not have any ROLLBACK action. You need to manually delete all the changes done by the installer.
ROLLBACK feature is available with InstallScriptMSI and Basic MSI project type.
To avail this feature either change your project type.

If your worry/concern is only limited to Add/Remove entry cleanup then you could override OnAbort() event and add code to remove your GUID from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\
