About Uninstallers and Custom Code

InstallAnywhere 2013

As with the installer, custom code can be created to extend the functionality of the uninstaller. There are several ways to include custom code in the uninstaller. One way is to include custom code actions, panels, or consoles in the Pre-Uninstall or Post-Uninstall sequences. The uninstall() method is called for custom code actions.

Another method of including custom code in the uninstaller is to schedule a custom code action in the Install sequence. In this case, the install() method of the action is called at install time and the uninstall() method of the same action is called at uninstall time.
