问题 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. After uninstalling, the program no longer works because the patched files get uninstalled. Instead of figuring out a way to restore the replaced files (which we haven't been able to do with this installer), we

Finding ALL installed applications with PowerShell?

I am trying to use Windows PowerShell 2.0 to find an installed application. I have tried two methods, one using WMI and one using the Registry. Both methods are able to bring up a large list of installed applications and components, however neither one seems to bring up the application I am interested in. I am specifically looking for CruiseControl.NET. It appears in the list of applications in the Programs and Features control panel applet. I know for a fact that it is currently installed, since I just uninstalled and reinstalled it to start fresh. Neither of the following methods seem to

As the single way I found to uninstall a webapp is to go to the about:apps page, I wanted to code the following: <p>To uninstall the webapp, please go to <a href="about:apps">about:apps</a></p> But, on Firefox v21 it does not open any page. Then, I failed also using about:config. <a href="about:config">about:config</a> Therefore I wonder whether it is possible to provide a hypertext link to the about:apps or about:config... What are your advices about this issue? EDIT: document.location does not help <html> <body> <script type="text/javascript"> //document.location = 'http://www.mozilla.org';

Prompt user to close application during uninstall (in WiX)

I am using Windows Installer XML 3.0 (WIX3) to install some software. Everything works fine, however, I'm having a really hard time to handle the following use case: the installed software is still running , when the user tries to uninstall it. The default behavior seems to remove all files but lets the application running (which is hard to see in my case, because it's sitting in the task tray). I added the following code in my installer.wxs file: <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action="WixCloseApplications" Before="RemoveFiles" /> </InstallExecuteSequence> <util:CloseApplication Id=

How does Dolphin web browser get notified when it's being uninstalled?

会有一股神秘感。 提交于 2019-11-29 02:11:59
问题 Background It might be useful for apps to allow to ask the user to answer why it was decided to uninstall them. The problem It seems that the Dolphin web browser app (and "everything me launcher") somehow managed to bypass it, and now it shows a webpage (on the default web browser) each time the app is being uninstalled. This happens even if I uninstall using ADB. As a user, I really hate it, but it's still interesting since as far as I know, apps can't get intents for the uninstallation of

Setup InstallShield Limited Edition for VS2010 so it automatically uninstalls previous versions of my application

血红的双手。 提交于 2019-11-29 00:16:00
I am working on a WPF desktop application and I am deploying through an install file generated by InstallShield Limited Edition. I would like the installer to prompt the user and remove any previous versions of the application before installing the new version. I suspect this is done via the Upgrade Paths option in InstallShield, but I can't get it figured out. Answer goes to an explanation or a link to a decent how-to, tutorial or manual page that answers my question. At the moment, when running the installer, I get: "Another version of this product is already installed. Installation of this
