conditional uninstall doesn't work.
Hi all,
i was trying to uninstall a product based on the value of a property that gets set during the system search for a registry key.
The condition i specified is like this
remove= "all " and DIRECTORPATH=""
The DIRECTORPATH variable should be initialized with the value of a particular key in the windows registry, if the later is present, or shall ideally be NULL if the key is not present.
however the condition always evaluates to be true and my product always gets uninstalled.
Can anybody give me a clue about where could be the problem?
thanks,
raj_ksrt.

Did you really mean remove property? Or did you actually mean REMOVE property? Properties are case sensitive. Please use exact case when referring to properties to avoid confusion.
You should take a look at the verbose uninstallation log for clues.

I meant REMOVE only. So that can't be a problem 🙂
