Show maintenance dialog when using a different version

Is there any way to show the maintenance dialog when a user runs an installer from a different version than they have installed? Our product is installed by administrators on locked down PCs, so we don't allow the regular user to uninstall from the control panel. The only way to uninstall is to use the installer from the same version they have installed. We would like to have them be able to use the installer for any version to uninstall our product. We are using the Professional version of Advanced Installer.

Re: Show maintenance dialog when using a different version

Hi,

I'm afraid that uninstalling a product using the package from a different version than the installed one is not possible.

However, I'm not sure how an user can uninstall the application using the installer from the installed version if he is not an administrator and the application is installed per-machine. This would work only if the application is installed per-user.

If so, you can try to create an "Uninstall" shortcut for your application in the "Files and Folders" page and let the user uninstall it using that shortcut.
