I have created an InstallScript MSI project installer and during its uninstallation, when I click on Uninstall option in Add\Remove windows a Confirm Uninstall prompt appears with Yes or No button.
What I want is to display the product name as a heading instead of Confirm Uninstall message at the top of the prompt and I am not able to find that option in InstallShiled 2020 R3 from where I could add the product name as heading in confirm uninstall prompt, could you please help me in letting know from where can I update the Confirm Uninstall message with the product name?
I am attaching both the screenshot for reference, the one which I want to be updated and the other one which is updated with product name but not sure how it was updated.
This is what I want in the another screenshot to be added i.e. Product Name.
Currently, it shows Confirm Uninstall message by default.

I am trying to install several applications in the Hololens. My problem arises when I try to install the second application. Since immediately afterwards the first one is deleted.
Thank you
The UWP application distinguishes from each other by globally unique identifier, which is defined in the Package.appxmanifest file.
You can right click the Package.appxmanifest file, then click [Open With], and select [XML (Text) Editor] in the pop-up window. After opening the file, check if the Identity tag is different.
I am have installed innosetup-5.5.9-unicode.exe on windows 8.
I wrote an application say demo
when I try to install
c:\demo-2.0-x86.exe /NOICONS <== It is getting installed with out any issue, but as per Inno tool documentation
/NOICONS
Instructs Setup to initially check the Don't create a Start Menu folder check box on the Select Start Menu Folder wizard page.
But its still creates shortcuts and is visible in Start Menu Folder.
Do we have any workaround for this ? or need to write some extra code ?
I am using Team Services on domain visualstudio.com and I need to delete one project, I found out that I need to use command prompt to delete projects, but when I tried the script it seemed that it doesn't work
My Script is,
TfsDeleteProject
/force collection:https://mytfs.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection MyProject
My first mistake was that I didn't append DefaultCollection to the URL, but now I get error that I don't have privileges.
Thanks to #Christopher I was able to make the script work.
You can use the following command from the "Developer Command Prompt":
TfsDeleteProject /collection:https://mytfs.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection MyProject
You can now do it via visualstudio.com
Open the administration context for the team project collection by choosing the gear icon.
Open the menu for the team project that you want to delete.
If you don’t see the actions icon , either you’re not accessing VSTS or you’re not a member of the Project Collection Administrators group.
You must type the name of the team project in order to initiate the delete operation.
Open “Developer Command Prompt” under “Program Files>Microsoft Visual Studio” or in Windows 8 type “Developer“.
In the command prompt, use this command template below to delete your project from TFS. Replace the YourTFSName to yours and also the ProjectName to the name of your project.
TfsDeleteProject /collection:https://YourTFSName.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection ProjectName
Hit Enter and then Y if you are prompted for confirmation.
Done. Double check by login to your TFS online.

Although the accepted answer is absolutely correct and very clear, I managed to get lost and run into that 'grayed out Delete button' issue and just wanted to share what I was doing wrong.
For the folks having issue with grayed out delete button, make sure that you are inside 'View the collection administration page' (as shown in the accepted answer), not inside the project itself.
If the last breadcrumb on the top of your VS Team Services is the name of the project, you are at the wrong place (it looks similar). Here the Delete button (appears on right clicking the project name) will be grayed out.
If you click the link that says 'View the collection administration page' after clicking the Settings(gear), you will be at the right place.
if your project name have space, you must use "MyProject name"
TfsDeleteProject /collection:https://mytfs.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection "MyProject name"
I have an installer which needs to add a key to Currentuser under \Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Excel\Options. It must be CurrentUser because excel does not look in LocalMachine. I have a customer that requires Admin rights for an install. I found that when the installer was run as the Admin user, the key was created under the Admin users registry settings. To get around this, I wrote a custom action which created the Excel key in Currentuser, and then copied the key to every other user currently logged on to the machine. This seems to work.
The problem i now have is on the uninstall. The registry key is left in place, which causes issues with Excel. What is the best way to get rid of this registry key on an uninstall?
I am using the Windows installer in VS 2010.

try installing and running Revo Uninstaller. Once it's installed, see if excel is still there to be uninstalled. In REVO, there is a step in the uninstall process where you check the checkboxes, in bold text, of the registry items to be deleted.

(on the site, click "download Now" instead of the "download" button at the top (which is just a link to google leads).
I created a setup file which is working awesome.
Now whenever I rebuild an application without changing anything but Package Code is changed and then while I am going to install this version then a dialog will come "Upgrade Dialog" which ask me for upgrade an application.
Now in this situation I want to display an additional dialog created by me.
I am using the Insatllshield 2012 BASIC MSI project type.
I solved this problem.
There are two properties exist in Installshield named "IS_MINOR_UPGRADE" and "IS_MAJOR_UPGRADE".
When there is a minor upgrade at that time IS_MINOR_UPGRADE will set to 1. And same for Major upgrade.
So using these properties, I can recognize the Upgrade mode.
Any time you change the package code but not the product code you are talking about a Minor Upgrade or possibly a Small Update if you don't change the ProductVersion. Either way, the only way to create a custom message like you ask is to write your own setup.exe / update.exe bootstrapper to detect the update scenario and display your confirmation UI.
There's nothing built into MSI or IS that allows you to easily change this.
