"Change/Remove" in "Add or Remove Programs" applet

[Pirie]

Hi,

I have created an uninstall procedure in sf7 and have checked "List uninstall in "Add or Remove Programs" [Control Panel}" in "Uninstall Settings". After I run the install, I get an entry for my app with a "Remove" button. When I click on this, the uninstall procedure executes. So far, so good.

However, when I look at other installed apps in this list I see that some have a "Change/Remove" button and others even have 2 buttons ("Change" and "Remove"). On page 239 of the sf7 User Manual the illustration suggests that this feature is available to sf7 installations.

I would welcome the chance to use such a "Change" mode if I can detect this in some way in my (un)install executable. However I can find no reference on how to do this in either the User Manual of the Help File.

Can anybody tell me how I can get a "Change/Remove" button and how I can retrieve this in my (un)installation?

Regards

Hello,

these options are available only in installers using Windows Installer technology, like those created by MSI Factory.

Ulrich,

Thanks for the explanation. If sf7 was still current, I would suggest that the illustration in the sf7 user manual should be replaced since that helped cause the confusion.
