Maintenance/Uninstallation Feature

InstallShield 2022

The maintenance/uninstallation feature installs the files needed for maintenance setups and uninstallation, including engine files; the files’ target location is specified by the value of the system variable DISK1TARGET. This feature is automatically placed in your .cab files by the release builder and is not displayed in the InstallShield interface.

At run time the maintenance/uninstallation feature is automatically selected for all setup types. Calling FeatureUpdate deselects this feature. The maintenance/uninstallation feature can also be selected or deselected by calling FeatureSelectItem and passing the system variable DISK1COMPONENT as the function’s second argument. For example, the following code deselects the feature:

FeatureSelectItem( MEDIA, DISK1COMPONENT, FALSE );
