Greetings friends,

I am using Installshield 2008 Premier edition, I am able to build the Quick patch successfully, and i am doing the following settings Under Quick patch project IDE, In Installation Designer; under Patch Settings select General Information Next select Build Settings and at the right hand side pane select the first tab named as Common and in that check the checkbox option Patch Uninstallation Allow Patch to be Uninstalled(Requires Windows Installer 3.0)

After setting this option; where do i find this uninstallation option whether it will display in add/remove program or will it create a shortcut in the start up menu under already installed parent product...

Please help..

regards

There are different ways of uninstalling patches. They are listed at MSDN:

About writting InstallScript - what exactly do you want to script in QuickPatch except patching files?

Greetings FractalizeThanks for the help..i checked the link that you sent, on Uninstalling patches,but in my case installshied is creating Update.exe file where i double to run the patch and in Quick Patch project there is no option to put patch GUID as i found, how do i proceed further??And about installscript before Quick Patch should run i want to call another c# .exe file that is my requirement then patch should contine after the .exe file...

Can you check GUID after the patch is installed? InstallShield stores it's vital data under C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information

Hi Fractalize i verified after running the patch Installshield is not storing GUID for QuickPatch, Installshield has stored GUID of the Setup not of QuickPatch!..

I am not sure about this QuickPatch, but it should keep it's files somewhere also.
FractalizeR
Yes thats true but where?? even i am unable to find it...
