I have a requirement to delete the files if the customer has installed the exe for the first time and uninstalled it.

If the user has upgraded the exe without uninstalling the present installer and trying to uninstall the upgraded installer we should leave the files as it is.

I have tried the conditions for the custom action as below, but it is not working. The files are getting deleted in both the cases. 

NOT(is_major_upgrade or is_minor_upgrade)
REMOVE ~="ALL"
Not Installed

Can you please help with this?

Thanks in advance,

Panvith

  • can you define 'the files'? Do you have user created files that should be deleted on uninstall? Or are you asking for instructions on handling major upgrades and file replacement / overwrite /uninstall and reinstall scenarios? – Daniel Lee Jan 09 '18 at 19:44
  • That really wasn't clear to me I am afraid, but you can find [**some links to MSI installer conditions here**](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19533711/is-it-possible-to-run-a-custom-action-only-in-repair-mode/48117013#48117013). – Stein Åsmul Jan 11 '18 at 01:00
