We are in the middle of attempting to migrate an old InstallShield 5.5 InstallScript project onto IS 2008, and my, how the world has changed.
In InstallScript, we used to manually set up an uninstall registry key under Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Product_Name\ with UninstallString= "C:\WINDOWS\IsUninst.exe -f"C:\Program Files\Product_Folder\Uninst.isu" -c"C:\Program Files\ISI\uninst.dll" -c"C:\Program Files\Product_Folder\_UNODBC.DLL""
But, I don't see IsUninst.exe in the Windows folder anymore.
I can see that Installshield is setting up the uninstall stuff here: \....\Uninstall\{GUID}
And the uninstall string that it sets up is this: "C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information\{GUID}\setup.exe" -runfromtemp -l0x0009 -removeonly
and the GUIDs there match.
But when I run the uninstall from add/remove programs, it runs our setup again like it's trying to update it, not remove it.
I don't know where to begin troubleshooting this one.... any pointers?
I'm having the same issue.. I upgrated from Installshield 12 to 2008 and the uninstall was working fine before. Now when i run the uninstall it comes back saying that it uninstalled successfully but nothing was actually removed. If I run the uninstall from C:\Windows\msiexec.exe /x {GUID} the uninstall works as intended...
Its an InstallScript MSI. and i've checked the OnUninstall() in the installscript..
