Uninstall prompts from msiexec

Hello,

I'm using Enterprise 11.3 and my project has enhanced UI on install using the granite theme. When doing the removal from add/remove programs it is triggering the dialog from Windows Installer stating "Are you sure you want to uninstall this product?" I know I can change the setting to used enhanced UI always, but during uninstall I don't want to see the maintenance dialog etc.

How can I get the behavior like one of our other projects which is also using enhanced UI, but with classic theme. With that project upon uninstall from add/remove I'm given a different dialog titled Programs and Features and asks "Are you sure you want to uninstall XXX" where XXX is the name of the product. With a check box "In the future, do not show me this dialog box."

Thank you.
Daniel

Hello,

I've tested the scenario and when uninstalling from Control Panel ( a setup package installed with "Graphite" theme and "Enhanced User Interface" option set to "Only on install") you should get a message like this "Are you sure you want to uninstall <ProductName>?". Also, the "In the future, do not show me this dialog box." check box is also present. When the EUI is set to "Only on install" the uninstall message box will be a standard Windows Installer one.

In order to have a clear view of your scenario can you please send us a screenshot with the error message you get when uninstalling from Control Panel and the .aip (project file) to support at advancedinstaller dot com so we can test and investigate your settings? Also, please specify which message do you expect/want to be displayed when uninstalling.

All the best,
Daniel
