Searching for All Installed Packages that Include a Specific Component

InstallShield 2020

You can use InstallShield MSI Sleuth to identify all of the packages that have installed a component with a specified component code to resolve issues with files not being uninstalled. You can also determine whether a component was installed by multiple products.

To search for all installed packages that include a specific component:

1. Open InstallShield MSI Sleuth.
2. On the File menu, point to Open by Component Code, and then point to Component Code. InstallShield MSI Sleuth changes this menu command to an edit field.
3. Enter the component code, and then press ENTER. Note that if you have the component code saved in the Clipboard, you can press CTRL+V to paste it in the menu command field. The Installed Packages dialog box opens.

The Installed Packages dialog box lists all of the installed packages that contain the specified component code. If you want to view a package, select it, and then click OK.
