I've followed the instructions outlined here, but it doesn't work exactly as I need.: How to get InstallShield LE to uninstall the existing installation automatically? (apparently this has worked for other people, so it's worth having a look. If it does the trick, be sure upvote @JYelton's answer) The result of these instructions are that I can install the application without having to uninstall , but now there are 2 separate instances of the application in my Add or Remove Programs window. It doesn't actually uninstall the previous version, it just installs the new version application along

This SO post explains very well how to install command line tools for Xcode 4.4. But how to uninstall them? There's a script listed on this page to do just that on Mountain Lion: http://www.cocoanetics.com/2012/07/you-dont-need-the-xcode-command-line-tools/ Copy the script into a text file. Save it as remove_CLI_tools.sh Open terminal and navigate to the folder where you saved the script. Type: sh remove_CLI_tools.sh I installed just the isolated command line tools (stand alone installer) without installing the Xcode application. So I ended up running the script twice, changing the variables

I am creating windows installer project using Visual Studio 2005. Is there an option make it so that my project does NOT have an uninstall option in Add/Remove programs? One of my customers has asked me to do this.. Here's Why : Because the installer is a patch to an existing program.

You just need to set ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT=1 in

Is there a way to NOT delete files after an uninstall? Simeon Pilgrim Set the Component value Permanent="yes" like so: <Component Id="LicenseDoc" Guid="*" Permanent="yes"> <File Id ="License.rtf" Source="$(var.SolutionDir)Installer\License.rtf" /> </Component> Compliments of Phil Wilson from wixusers mailing-list: See the MSI SDK docs for the Component table - set the Component guid to be null (empty). The effect of this is that the component isn't registered (so it can't be repaired) and it won't be uninstalled. I know this question is old, but I just stumbled across it as I was looking for a

I have an app that gives option to install CA cert and it gets stored in the user tab of Trusted Credentials and it works as expected. FYI (This is how I install the cert): Intent installIntent = KeyChain.createInstallIntent(); javax.security.cert.X509Certificate x509 = javax.security.cert.X509Certificate.getInstance(caRootCertBytes); installIntent.putExtra(KeyChain.EXTRA_CERTIFICATE, x509.getEncoded()); installIntent.putExtra(KeyChain.EXTRA_NAME,caRootCertName); startActivity(installIntent); If the app is uninstalled the cert remains in the Trusted credentials . I would like the cert to be
