Run Custom Action on Uninstall not on Major Upgrade

[mumbles76]

Hello All

(Installed AND ( REMOVE = "ALL" OR AI_INSTALL_MODE = "Remove" ))

Is this the best condition to use when removing a program from add/remove programs? Not NOT to execute on major upgrades?

Hello,

As I can see, you want to execute a custom action only on Uninstall sequence and it is a regular uninstall (e.g. the uninstall process is triggered from Control Panel), not when the uninstall is triggered by a major upgrade.

In this case, you should use the following condition:

Code: Select all

( Installed AND ( REMOVE = "ALL" OR AI_INSTALL_MODE = "Remove" ) AND NOT UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE )

Please let me know if everything is working as expected.

Best regards,
Dan

It did not.

I'm going to try

Code: Select all

( Installed AND ( REMOVE = "ALL" OR AI_INSTALL_MODE = "Remove" ) AND NOT OLDPRODUCTS )

Hi,

Can you please give me more details about your specific scenario? Why the condition is not good?

Best regards,
Dan

We write some registry values via a powershell custom action. We also have a delete registry entries on uninstall custom action.

That delete registry entries custom action was still running on major upgrades with your condition.
