Uninstall View
InstallAnywhere 2021 » Advanced Designer » Sequence
InstallAnywhere automatically creates an uninstaller for projects. The uninstaller, much like the installer, is a collection of panels, consoles, and actions. The standard uninstaller uninstalls the application by executing each action’s uninstallation procedure.
However, in some situations, you may want additional flexibility and have more control over how the uninstallation is performed. Therefore, you may want to use the Uninstall view on the Sequence page to customize the uninstaller by adding, removing, or changing some of the uninstall actions.
The Uninstall view contains the following settings:

Visual Tree |
The Visual Tree displays the hierarchy of uninstall categories and actions that make up the uninstaller. By default, the following uninstall categories are available:
By default, each of these uninstall categories contains one Uninstall action that would run the uninstallation of the category. Right-clicking in the Visual Tree shows a context menu that you can use to manage the files and actions. |
