check if the product is installing or uninstalling?
I'm working on a product that has the install section and uninstall section that both use the same dialog. The only problem is that this dialog needs to behave slightly differently depending on if its uninstalling or installing. Is there a method I can run to check which state the system is in?
I was looking at the methods getUninstallerStatus() uninstallerLauncherExists()
and the classes ProductInstallContext ProductUninstallContext InstallCheck
But these are all uncommented or confusingly commented in the API. Can I use one of these and if so how? Or will I have to create another dialog altogether?

Something like INSTALLING = true/false then in the dialog you can:
