Pengyu, first you should create a Setup and Deployment project. That will
handle both the install and the uninstall.

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 am needing to automate some installation tasks. I first need to determine if there is already a version of a program installed. The program appears in the Add/Remove Programs in control panel, and I know this is all stored in the registry. But short of searching through the entire registry, I cannot figure out how to locate the program. I see that in the registry (for .msi) installs, stores something like:...

I have noticed that when I uninstall my app it doesn't delete the Program Files / MyApp folder if there are "new" files in it that weren't there before. It deletes all files except the "new" ones. Is there a way to make an uninstall so that it just completely wipes out my Program Files / MyApp folder no matter what?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
