Uninstall dialogs

[cdundee]

By default no uninstall screens are used. In other words, when I uninstall the program from Add/Remove programs screen a progress bar window is shown and the software is uninstalled. Instead I first want to show a dialog with a Next> button and then when the user clicks next the uninstall should begin. Basically I want to first show a welcome dialog (if you will) for the uninstall before the uninstall begins. How can I do this?


Thanks.

The problem is that when the installer is run from Add/Remove programs it runs the installer in uninstall mode automatically which, by default is with a minimal interface. In general, MSI is designed such that you should never depend on a user interface being displayed as it is meant to be overridable with command line options.

However, I am looking into this further to see if there is a way to force the UI to be displayed during uninstall. I will let you know if I find out any more about this.
