Sequence Restrictions

ActionData Messages

Field Description of action data
[1] Identifier of unregistered module file.
[2] Identifier of folder holding unregistered module file.

 

Remarks

The SelfUnregModules action attempts to call the DllUnregisterServer function of the module that is to be unregistered. This action runs with elevated privileges when the installation is being run with elevated privileges, such as during a per-machine installation. During a per-user installation, the installer runs this action with user privileges.

Note that you cannot specify the order in which the installer unregisters self-registering DLLs by using the SelfUnRegModules action.
