I could not get that to work properly. I set it up as best as I could and it didn't even execute. When I checked the MSI log it said that it was already installed. Checking Add/Remove Programs and searching the registry for its product GUID - it is being reported as installed incorrectly. I ran it setup.exe (my main install) and based on the contents of the log, it ran the chained MSI to remove correctly but my application did not uninstall. Why is that? Not sold on this being a workable solution at the moment. Maybe I am doing something wrong though?

Can you provide any more detail than adding it to the Upgrade table? I have a similar situation and I don't quite see how adding a row to the Upgrade table with my 3rd party GUID will make it uninstall.

I already have CA that launches a msi for a 3rd party app during my app's install. Can I also create a CA to uninstall that 3rd party app? I am not sure what the Properties should be. I had ALLUSERS=[ALLUSERS] ADDLOCAL=ALL for install. What would it be for uninstall? REMOVE=ALL? REMOVE? Is this even good practice? And if not, who has suggestions for replacement?

We build our application installs with InstallShield 2015 and 2016. Most of the time, the Test team just grabs the install from our network. However, end users in the field use a FTP file transfer service to get the zipped up install to them. The problem we have been having recently (in the last 2 weeks) is that multiple files are being blocked after extracting the zip file of the install. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a way to update the InstallShield install project to help prevent this? Would converting our application installs to 2019 Pro help at all? Really in a bind here. Customers are getting angry and refusing to upgrade (which costs my company money). Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

ARP information from the Property table contains nothing for Support URL or Read Me.

Here's the General INformation from that project. Notice the Read Me path is empty -- yet it's still getting populated.

You can see from a different project which does not contain Support URL or Readme that it still gets the ReadMe path!

It's been almost two weeks since my last post on this issue. Is there a way to set the condition of a prereq to only run if a folder does not exist?

It's been almost two weeks since my last post on this issue. I followed up showing the contents of the Help Link in the InstallShield project (it's empty) and the fact that it's pointing to the Read Me file in the Control Panel's Programs and Features for my application. Why is the Support Link displaying the wrong value?

Realized that there is a new version of the Visual C++ 2015 - 2019 prerequisite (14.26.28720.3), so will implement that but pretty sure all the conditions were for the old version.

Since including the Visual C++ 2015 - 2019 prerequisite in my install, I have a had a few problems where the 64-bit version is not getting installed if the 32-bit already exists on the system. Why is that? What can I do to ensure that the 64-bit gets installed on a 64-bit OS when needed? Can anyone point me to a correct set of conditions for this prereq (32 and 64). The lack of it getting installed is causing our 64-bit version of the application to not be run by testers. Thanks.
