Please help.. to achieve command line uninstallation
project : InstallscriptMsi
requirement was to support both command line installation and uninstallation.
i was able to achieve installation like shown below. please correct me if i've done something wrong.
in setup.rul file i've modified the OnFirstUIBefore() function like shown below
if(MODE != SILENTMODE) then
nResult = SdWelcome(szTitle, szMsg);
if (nResult = BACK) goto Dlg_SdWelcome;
endif;
i've done this whereever the dialogs are displayed.
now in command line i'm using the following command
C:\>start /w <.EXE Path> /s /V"INSTALLDIR=\"\" PRODUCTSERIAL=\"\" Property1=\"\" "
This property value is used to populate a text field in a custom dialog
this command successfully installs the Application.EXE. Is this the right way of doing things. if any better way please share
how can i uninstall the same application in command prompt...Can i get some help in this regard...?

The help topics "Creating Uninstallation Shortcuts for InstallScript and InstallScript MSI Projects" and "Creating Uninstallation Shortcuts for Basic MSI Projects" have information about the command lines used to uninstall different project types. Searching the help for "silent installation" gives more specifics.
