Hi,
I am using the Microsoft Office Access 2003 Developer Extensions to package a Ms Access application. After packaging & running setup, the installation works & is completed OK.
The problem is with uninstalling. If I install the package to the default folder i.e \program files\"my package"\, the uninstall works fine & deletes the folder "my package" with all its contents.
If i install the package in a non default folder e.g. \"my package"\, the uninstall completes but does not delete the folder "my package" or any of the files inside.
Am guessing this is a problem with the developer extensions. Anyone know how to fix this?

Hi,
I will try the application but i am guessing it will not package the Ms Access runtime files. Or can it?

Should be no problem. I've added a Cover and an icon to the files.
The runtime is often already available on a PC having Office installed.

I intend to deploy the application on PC's that do not have Ms Access Installed. Because of this i must include the runtime files in the installation package, thus the need to use the Ms Access Developer Extensions.

As you can read from the features:
"Create buttons to execute exe files"
This will allow to add the runtime and install it with a button press.
Probably will need a .bat file to install the runtime and your application in one go.

I looked at the software and this is not what i am looking for.
I found a solution though. In the .msi file created by access developer extensions package wizard there is a table called "Component" . If you delete all strings in the "KeyPath" column, the un-install works from any installed directory.
Thanks for the assistance.

We are about to deploy a new version of our application re-written in .Net.
Our .Net app is using the installer included with VS.Net 2003. The
previous version of the application was deployed using InstallShield. Is it
possible, using a Custom Action, to call the previous apps uninstall
routine? If not, help on how to uninstall the previous version while still
using the .Net installer would be appreciated.
