QtIFw: Changes in installed setup
-
Hi,
i have an installation of my setup. Now, i notice, that there is a problem with the uninstalltion process, because i forgot a line or something else.
How can i change the base of the installation after the setup is already installed?For example::
Installed version:component.addElevatedOperation("Execute",[...]);but it has to be:
component.addElevatedOperation("Execute",[...], "UNDOEXECUTE", [...]);If the user uses the maintenane.exe and want to uninstall it, the first version will not work, because the UNDOEXECUTE part is missing.
Thank you for you help in advance.

Can't you go for the complete uninstall and reinstall with the corrected code?
It is probably the easiest way.
@koahnig It cannot be the only solution for updates, that you have to uninstall the complete installation. This is a big problem of the installation framework. Easy to use, easy to install, but hard to update.
I have a bigger setup and this is not suitable to uninstall and reinstall all components again.
Thank you for your help. :/

My comment was targeting more the obvious problem, that you apparently have to correct a wrongly used routine call. My impression was that this might be only on your machine.

I am completely agreeing with you. BTW I am not trying to defend IFW and its documentation. I have gotten my own share of frustration with IFW and its documentation. Therefore I am trying to keep it simple most of the time.
