Kick off install after uninstall
I have an install that has two options if it is already installed: Upgrade and uninstall -- I changed SdWelcomeMaint dialog. I have the upgrade run the uninstall but then the user has to start setup.exe again to launch the install part. I would like this to be automated so that it automatically does the equivalent.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Steve

Can you provide additional information?
1. what kind of upgrade is it?
2. "I have the upgrade run the uninstall" - After the uninstall, should this upgrade start the same appl. or a different one?
3. Are the versions defferent?

Thanks for the reply.
It is an upgrade of the same product just newer verison. Not sure if that answers your "what kind of upgrade is it". Once the uninstall (as part of the upgrade) finishes I want to kick off the same setup.exe. And yes it is a newer version of the install/product being installed.

Hi Steve,
Hope Major Upgrade would do what you want (uninstalling the previous version and installing the current version).
Y cant you go for Major Upgrade?

I am not to familar with the concept but am reading about it. It implies it only works on Windows Installer installs -- mine is an InstallScript Project. Is it still an option?
