Uninstall other product

[droland]

Hello,

There are two application/two installer (A and B) with different product code and product code can be changed in both installer.

The A is main product and B can be installed if A is installed. When the user uninstall A then A has to uninstall B in UI or no UI (silent) mode also.

"A" doesn't know product code of B and vice versa...

How can "A" detect whether "B" is installed even if ARP (Add/remove progs...) entry was deleted from registry?

Thanks.

Would you be knowing the product B's name?
As in the display name (or something unique) can be queried in the registry and probably find the product code.

I hope this helps!

Yeah..... If you can get the unique name then you can query registry and look for the uninstall string.

This may help you uninstall the product B
