I created a Universal Installer Project and successfully installed it and the uninstalled it. We have 2 products that are similar so I did a "save as" on the first project and gave it a new name. Then I changed the UUID then updated the version levels under Installation Design>Advanced Properties >Key. Now if I install both products on one machine both uninstalls fail.
The error in the log file is:
(Sep 14, 2006 4:28:20 PM), Uninstall, com.installshield.product.service.product.PureJavaProductServiceImpl$Uninstaller, err, java.lang.ClassCastException STACK_TRACE: 9 java.lang.ClassCastException at com.installshield.product.service.product.PureJavaProductServiceImpl.initializeActiveNodeTable(Unknown Source) at com.installshield.product.service.product.PureJavaProductServiceImpl.setActiveStateForUninstallation(Unknown Source) at com.installshield.product.service.product.PureJavaProductServiceImpl.access$1600(Unknown Source) at com.installshield.product.service.product.PureJavaProductServiceImpl$UninstallProduct.uninstall(Unknown Source) at com.installshield.product.service.product.PureJavaProductServiceImpl$Uninstaller.execute(Unknown Source) at com.installshield.wizard.service.AsynchronousOperation.run(Unknown Source) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)
check the uid's for the uninstalls - I would edit the .uip file and do a search on uid and make the changes there - a little easier then using the GUI!
But yes - I've had issues when I have done a save as in the past with using the same uid's - the uninstalls get muffed up in the VPD.
To try and get the uninstalls to work, try renaming this directory:
and run the uninstalls - I forget if it bombs out totally but by renaming the directory and fixing the problem with the uids it should resolve your issue! You can just delete the install if it fails to uninstall!
