Not Installed
For a complete uninstall:
REMOVE~="ALL"
For any maintenance operation (repair, modify, uninstall, anything except first time install):
Installed
The above came in handy when I ended up wrting this to not display a messagebox on a silent install:
function WarnUserIfNotSilent(hMSI)
STRING szProperty;
NUMBER iSize;
begin
iSize = 256;
if (MsiGetProperty (ISMSI_HANDLE, "UILevel", szProperty, iSize) = ERROR_SUCCESS) then
if (StrCompare(szProperty, "2") != 0) then
MessageBox("A message.", WARNING);
endif;
endif;
end;
A brief comment, I find that conditional expressions based on the Installed and REMOVE properties is somewhat limiting. It's usually better to think in context of what is happening in an installation transaction in relationship to features and components. The $,&,! an ? operators are very useful here.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pointer.
ReplyDeleteI was just making a note for reference, after a day and a half of trying to fix an issue that was related to a weird combination of conditions.
