Rollback and custom properties

[rosen.nedialkov]

Hello,
I have a problem with installation rollback and the custom properties. I am installing our services via a DLL custom action and I use a custom properties (in Install Parameters -> Properties) to set their params. I have to run an custom action after installation and if the later fails then I must uninstall all components. I had prepared an custom action to remove my services/drivers during rollback but it seems that the Custom properties are not supplied during rollback. Can you please help me with an idea?

P.S. I could try to use the Drivers dialog with INF files, but please save me a little time and tell me if the drivers are removed properly during rollback ?

Hi,

it seems that the Custom properties are not supplied during rollback.

This is because the rollback custom actions are deferred and do not have access to installer properties. If you create a rollback custom action you need to use hard-coded parameters.

I could try to use the Drivers dialog with INF files, but please save me a little time and tell me if the drivers are removed properly during rollback ?

If you use the Drivers page the drivers will be removed correctly during rollback. However, if the drivers are installed through a custom action they can be removed during rollback only through another custom action.

Regards,
Cosmin
