Question

I have MSI installer project where
postbuildevent == cscript “$(ProjectDir)EnableLaunchApplication.js” “$(BuiltOuputPath)”

1 Question that I’ve been struggling for hours – how do I prevent running this script on uninstall – i.e. run it ONLY on install?

Answer 1

Based on this thread, I modified/added these lines:

sql = "INSERT INTO `ControlEvent` (`Dialog_`, `Control_`, `Event`, `Argument`, `Condition`, `Ordering`) VALUES ('FinishedForm', 'CloseButton', 'DoAction', 'VSDCA_Launch', 'LAUNCHAPP=1 AND NOT REMOVE', '0')";

sql = "INSERT INTO `ControlCondition` (`Dialog_`, `Control_`, `Action`, `Condition`) VALUES ('FinishedForm', 'CheckboxLaunch', 'Hide', 'Installed')";
view = database.OpenView(sql);
view.Execute();
view.Close();
