ashwini410 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) Hi, I am new to AutoIt and am stuck at this point. The application folder contains air file of the application as well as uninstall.exe The application folder which is placed in Programs Files is deleted when I uninstall the application from uninstall.exe. But when I remove the application from control panel, the uninstall.exe is not executed still the application is uninstalled. The application folder in Program Files is as it is. Not all the contents from the folder are deleted. I have specified the Uninstall string and Display Name in the install.exe to be written to the registry. IMO the application uninstalls from the air file itself when removed from control panel. Is there any way I can link the air file to uninstall.exe? What do I do?

ashwini410 Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 Yes. Actually on removal from control panel, I would like the uninstall.exe to be executed. This has to be done through AutoIt. Please Help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashwini410 Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 The code for installation and uninstallation is written in AutoIt. The rest of the application is in Flex. But the installation and uninstallation happens through .au3 files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the installation and uninstallation happens through .au3 files wow, you lost me with that comment, so you installed an application using a script run from the script editor then right? Where did you get the source? Edit: if you know what parameters the compiled application that you installed using the au3 files takes, then check if they're correct in one of these registry keys. HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall{APPLICATION ID}UninstallString HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall{APPLICATION ID}UninstallString Also, are you sure you didn't mean to say that the installed app is actually a compiled autoit script?

ashwini410 Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) Yes I had checked the registry entries earlier too. The application is listed in HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall The Uninstall string is something like : MsiExec.exe /I....

Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted March 7, 2012 Moderators Share Posted March 7, 2012 Hi, Ashwini410. What is the name of the application you are trying to uninstall? If it is in MSI format, the uninstall should catch MOST of the files and reg entries. There may be additional switches you can use on uninstall, however, depending on the product.

Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted March 7, 2012 Moderators Share Posted March 7, 2012 Unless it's a virus.True, though I don't know many virus writers that take the time to package their work into an MSI.

ashwini410 Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) I don't have any idea about the virus. But we have a setup folder which contains install.au3, install.exe, uninstall.au3 and uninstall.exe. The application is in flex and the air file for the application is also placed in the same folder. The AIR files are executables. So when I run the install.exe, it runs this executable and the app is installed. We have used autoit to create other app related folders in Application Data Directory and for the shortcuts etc. Now uninstall.exe contains the code to remove all the folders related to the app as well as the shortcuts. So when I run uninstall.exe directly all the folders are deleted and the application is uninstalled successfully. But when I click on Remove in Control Panel -> Add/Remove programs, app is uninstalled directly through the AIR file. uninstall.exe is simply not executed at all and the app folder is still there in C:Program FilesMyApp ( some files and folders from MyApp are deleted but not all ). In install.exe I have specified the uninstall string : RegWrite("HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall{appName}", "DisplayName", "REG_SZ", "{App Display Name}") RegWrite("HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall{appName}", "UninstallString", "REG_SZ", "{uninstall.exe path}" ) Where am I going wrong?
