visual studio .net setup : Custom Action on uninstall
My setup contains custom action(.net exe) to be launched on uninstall.
If after installation exe containing custom action is removed uninstall failed with file not found exception. I suggest that i have to add condition that checks existing of custom action exe How can i do this? Thanks in advance, Sergey
You don't have to physically install a program used for a custom action -
you can set its Exclude property so it's not visible to users (it's in the cached MSI file and is run from there). -- Phil Wilson [Microsoft MVP-Windows Installer] [quoted text, click to view] "Sergio" <SergeyBazarnik@googlemail.com> wrote in message news:1173167761.507945.74140@64g2000cwx.googlegroups.com... > My setup contains custom action(.net exe) to be launched on uninstall. > > If after installation exe containing custom action is removed > uninstall failed with file not found exception. > > I suggest that i have to add condition that checks existing of custom > action exe > > How can i do this? > > Thanks in advance, > Sergey >

But seems it doesn't work for mee. I get following compile rror after excluding custom action .exe from setup: Building file 'D:\temp\Setup1\Setup1\Debug\SergeySetup.msi'... ERROR: Unable to build custom action named 'TestInstaller.exe' from object 'TestInstaller.exe' because the object is marked as excluded. Any tip ? Thanks

I read your article "http://www.simple-talk.com/dotnet/visual-studio/ visual-studio-setup---projects-and-custom-actions/" it's helpfull but not in my case.
Ah ok, unmanaged custom actions only. That's a pain.
