Hi, This method is not recommended because the versioning of the java.dll is not consistent (is not the same with the JRE/JDK version). For example in the 1.5.0 JRE release the version of the java.dll is 1.5.0, where as for the 1.5.0_03 JRE the version of the java.dll is 5.0.30. Another example is J...

Hi, If you scheduled your custom action in the InstallUISequence, after the ExecuteAction standard action, then it is normal to not have a rollback operation. The rollback occurs only at the failure of an deferred action (standard or custom) which was scheduled between InstallValidate and InstallFin...

Hi, The problem may be with the "REMOVE" property. The versions that are installed with a installation type (per-user/per-machine) can only be uninstalled by new versions using the same installation type. So, if the problem persists, why did you used "Not REMOVE="ALL"" ...
