Vista Uninstall
IS2008 Basic MSI.
Under Vista > Control Panel > Programs and Features, select my program, then select Uninstall. Then it does not properly bring up a dialog I have in the in the Installation > User Interface > MaintenanceWelcome to ask to remove user data or leave it. It looks like it is calling it as a silent install.
When running the installer with the same version, I do get the maintenance mode and dialog.
Is this normal behavior? Can this be worked around?

Have a look at the registry key name "UninstallString" under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UnInstall\ If it has a /qb switch or something equivalent, that's where the behavior is coming from. Modify this if you are adding this key, or if you aren't adding it, create a similar key without the /qb switch that will override the default one that's getting generated.

I'm not making any modifications to the UninstallString.
MsiExec.exe /X{MYPRODUCTGUID} is what was there.

This is the normal behavior. You can work around it most easily by disabling the remove button under General Information \ Add Remove Programs.
