Uninstallation through a custom action
Hi,
I am using InstallShield 2008 to build a setup for my project. It is a basic MSI project. I want a custom Action to fire during the uninstallation process. The custom action should fire first and only if that custom Action gets executed successfully the rest of the uninstallation process should proceed else it should revert back to the original state. The product should not get unInstalled.
The CA is dll. The dll deactivates an activeID in one of the servers. For this deactivation purpose we need an active internet connection, If the deactivation is successful, the function in the library returns a value true else false. If the value is true the uninstallation should continue else it should abort the process. I hope i have made an attempt to explain to u properly. Also please let me know in which sequence should this be inserted?. This should fire only during uninstallation.
Really looking out for a help to complete the above said task
Awaiting early responses
warm regards

As for conditioning an action to run only during uninstallation, please see this newsletter tip (PDF): http://www.acresso.com/webdocuments/PDF/msiconditions.pdf.
