Can be used to run a program during an uninstallation. It works like <strong>XRUN<\/strong>, but the command is executed during the uninstallation process. This command is useful if some special processing must be done during the uninstallation process, for example to uninstall a Windows service that was installed during the installation process. The picture below shows an example of usage. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.samlogic.net\/blog\/2014\/11\/how-to-install-and-uninstall-a-windows-service-using-visual-installer\/\">Read more<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.samlogic.net\/blog\/images\/product-visual-installer\/vi-script-window-xrun-and-xrun_uninstall-for-blog.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 A new script command: <strong>UNINSTALL_MSIEXEC<\/strong>. Can be used to run an external MSI installation or uninstallation during an uninstallation process. By combining <strong>MSIEXEC<\/strong> with <strong>UNINSTALL_MSIEXEC<\/strong> you have a nice and easy way to handle both installations and uninstallations of MSI files.

For example:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Forward slashes in the main destination folder made the installation to fail. Visual Installer now converts forward slashes (&#8220;\/&#8221;) to backslashes (&#8220;\\&#8221;) automatically.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 If the source path was a UNC file path (a file path that starts with &#8220;\\\\&#8221;) the installation sometimes failed. Visual Installer now checks that the source path starts with a drive letter.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Some updates in the English languages file. We have removed some outdated text.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.samlogic.net\/blog\/images\/separator\/gray-line-separator.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.samlogic.net\/shared\/download-symbol-earth-h128.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><strong>How to download the update<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you have <em>Visual Installer 2014<\/em> and a <em>12 months maintenance plan<\/em> you can download the update from the following download page:<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">&gt;<\/span><\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.samlogic.net\/fullversions-information\/download-latest-product-version.htm\">Download &#8211; Visual Installer 2014 &#8211; Latest update<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you have an older version of Visual Installer, for example <em>Visual Installer 2012<\/em>, you can upgrade to the latest version of Visual Installer from this order page:<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">&gt;<\/span><\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.samlogic.net\/order\/product-vi\/order-vi.htm\">Upgrade to Visual Installer 2014<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is now an update of SamLogic Visual Installer 2014 available.
