How to add Uninstall in Setup Project

108 New Member
Hi guys,

Just want to ask your idea on how to add "uninstall" in my setup project. I do have a working a installer but the uninstall part is not yet working. I saw some code which uses script file but I'm not sure if it will work. Aside from that, I think there's a better alternative since the custom install contain uninstall folder. Hope you can give share your ideas.

Thanks,

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?

We have developed an application that will replace the older version. The older versions comes in two flavors, a Lite and a Pro version. I can successfully remove the previous version of either the Lite or the Pro version by sync'ing the "Product Code" and increasing the version number of the new setup, but I really need to remove both versions upon a successful installation. So I have added two custom actions under "Commit" and I have...

I am developing a Windows application using VS2005 Pro (VB). The solution includes a setup project. I sent the setup files to a tester and he installed and used the program successfully.

How can I completely uninstall the previous version. ...

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,...
