windows - Wix - uninstall different product

Question

Our main installer is calling another product (product B) installer
This creates two entries in the ""add remove programs" window.
When I uninstall the main product product B is not removed from machine.
Is there a way that I can uninstall product B when the main product is uninstalled?

Answer 1

You can try using a custom action with these settings:

• it should be scheduled after InstallFinalize in InstallExecuteSequence

• it should use this condition:

  REMOVE = "ALL"

• use ExeCommand attribute to specify the msiexec.exe uninstall command line (you will use the actual ProductCode):

  msiexec.exe /x <product_code_B> /qb

• set Return attribute to asyncNoWait so product B uninstall runs in a different process
