WIX MSI Package Uninstallation
windows-installer, wix
Solution
A reply by Bob Arnson in this thread:
Yes, that's the behavior of the Add/Remove Programs applet. It always uninstalls MSI packages in basic mode after prompting. The only thing you can do is set ARPNOREMOVE to force a user to use maintenance mode -- and surface a Remove option in your maintenance UI.
Problem
I am using WIX for an installer package. When I uninstall the package by double clicking the original msi package everything is fine. When I uninstall from the control panel it gives me a miminal UI uninstallation. I have written into my MSI a custom action which asks the user whether they want to uninstall some databases etc. This does not occur on the minimal UI uninstallation. How can I make the uinstall from control panel work with a full UI?
