Uninstalling a Suite project

Hi,

I'm creating a Suite installer which will contain 5 or 6 individual AI installers.

If I don't enable "Register product with Windows Installer", how can I create a Suite uninstaller?

Re: Uninstalling a Suite project

Hello,

The suite installation is meant to install separate packages, all at the same time on the customer's machine.

That means that each package should then be uninstalled manually, if that's desired.

If you'd like to create a main uninstaller for all, I would advise leaving the "Register with Windows Installer" option checked and then adding the required parameter in the "Uninstall Command Line" field from the "Prerequisites" page.

Hope this helps!

Best regards,

Could you elaborate on this please as I can't find such a parameter where you specified.

Thanks.

Hello,

Sure thing!

Here's the option I was talking about in my previous reply:

If the package was created with Advanced Installer, the field will be completed automatically when you check that option:
