Event Handler

Project Type

Description

OnShowUI

InstallScript

Called directly by the installation engine to initiate the user interface and file transfer.

OnSuiteShowUI

InstallScript

When an Advanced UI or Suite/Advanced UI installation launches an InstallScript package, the OnSuiteShowUI event is called instead of the OnShowUI event. By default, the OnSuiteShowUI event initializes any feature states that are passed from an Advanced UI or Suite/Advanced UI installation to the InstallScript package, and it starts file transfer.

OnUninstall

InstallScript, InstallScript MSI

The OnUninstall event handler is called when the installation is run with the /uninst parameter. This is the only event that is called when the /uninst parameter is used. The default code for the OnUninstall event uninstalls a previously installed product.
