UILevel value during full uninstall

Hi,

I've a custom action in the execute sequence that need to be triggered when the installer is running silently. Placed the condition "UILevel=2" on it.

However, it seems that this custom action is not executed when clicking 'Remove' from the Add/Remove Control Panel(and I want that).

I thaught that when the uninstaller is started via the ARP by clicking the 'Remove' button, it automatically runs silently and sets the UILevel to '2'...?!?

Is this correct?

Is the action in the Execute sequence? If it's in the User Interface sequence, MSI skips that sequence for a silent or basic UI.

Otherwise, if you create an MSI log file, is there a different value of UILevel?

The CA is scheduled in the Execute Sequence.
I printed out the UILevel property during execution.

Until a few hours ago I always believed that when you do a Product Remove via the AddRemove Control Panel, that UILevel=2 but it isn't.

UILevel=2 when you explicitily launch the setup with the silent flag from the commanline.

Via the Add/Remove Control performing a product uninstall, gives UILevel the value '3'.

I didn't knew that... :rolleyes:
