UNINSTALL_STRING

InstallShield 2016 » InstallScript Language Reference

Project • The following project types support UNINSTALL_STRING:

The UNINSTALL_STRING system variable contains the command line that launches the setup launcher, the installation’s executable file, which was placed on the target system to perform uninstallation. The default value is:

<DISK1TARGET>\<DISK1SETUPEXENAME> -runfromtemp -l<SELECTED_LANGUAGE>

The setup launcher automatically writes the UNINSTALL_STRING command line to the registry, unless you have hidden the Remove button (via the Disable Remove Button property) in Add or Remove Programs.

You can append your own custom command line switches to UNINSTALL_STRING for processing by your script’s uninstallation code.
