Cannot uninstall deployment

One of my clients recently successfully installed a web application
from a WebSetup.msi file created in visual studio. They have
uninstalled and upgraded a couple of times since then with a new
WebSetup.msi file. (during initial test review phase)
For some reason - all of a sudden they can't uninstall the existing
web application via programs install/uninstall. It came up with the
error.

"The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file:
c:\Config.Msi\x xxx.rbf (where xxxx I imagine is a unique number)"

I read somewhere that this may have been due to the client running
some kind of spyware removal tool that removed the Config.Msi folder,
and to remedy this just create the folder again and it should resolve
the problem.

I tried this and now when the client tries to uninstall the web
application it comes up with a different error.

"The installer has encounterd an unexpected error installing this
package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error
code is 2203."

I would be grateful for any help, in the first place with an
explanation of how to simply remove this from the clients program list
(the easist way possible), and secondly to help understand whats going
on to address this problem should it occur in the future.

Many Thanks,

Alistair

I have an application that runs in the system tray (taskbar notification area) and it runs at startup. Occasionally I need to release a new version. I have created a deployment project in .Net. With the MSI it detects whether a current version is installed and requests that the user uninstalls it prior to installing the new version. Also, MSI detects a running instance of the application during the uninstall and requests that it be closed...

I have a vb.net deployment project. The program that gets installed can create custom named files. I don't see any way in the deployment project options to remove files that were not installed in the first place. I wrote a program to accomplish that (cleanup program) but how can I get to execute BEFORE the uninstall removes files? I can add it to custom actions - uninstall but this only allows things after the uninstall is through and...

I finally figured out how set up my VS deployment project to remove a previous version (I was not setting the productdoe or version number). While I have been testing, I notice that if I choose to uninstall entirely, the new version, all files remain behind though the desk top icon is removed. The difference between my previous MSI and and my current MSI is that I changed the "Remove Previous Version" property = true I changed the...

When creating a deployment project in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, there seems to be no option to create an uninstall link. How can this be achieved? To be specific, I want an 'Uninstall' shortcut to be created somewhere in the Start Menu. Also, when user clicks the msi file to uninstall, he should be able to select uninstall option. I know there is a command line option using msiexec, but how do I make this call in my deployment...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
