I'm evaluating the InstallShield 2011. In my case, there is an executable that, among other things, calls the setup.exe that I created with InstallShield.
Symmetrically, I need to call the uninstall of InstallShield from an executable I created (and not by the add/remove programs utility)
So basically I need 2 things: 1. the ability to uninstall from the command-line, so I can execute it from my Uninstall.exe (is the setup.exe stored somewhere in the target computer, so I can call it with uninstall flags??) 2. I put an entry in the add/remove programs utility that calls my Uninstall.exe first (and in its turn should call the InstallShield uninstall...), is there a possibility that installShield won't put the add/remove entry?
See the "Creating Uninstallation Shortcuts for InstallScript and InstallScript MSI Projects" help topic for the command line to run; you can suppress the default Add or Remove Programs entry with the ADDREMOVE_SYSTEMCOMPONENT variable.
(If you're using an MSI project, there are similar help topics and properties to get the same effect.)
