- Thread-topic: Uninstaller Howto?
I have successfully used "Package Maker" to make an installer for my software. However, I haven't seen any standard for making uninstallers.
My software places pieces inside "/Library/Application Support" and "/Library/StartupItems" in addition to the standard "/Applications" folder. If a user were to move our apps located in "/Applications" to the trash, they would only be deleting a small portion of our software.
Is there a standard tool for making uninstallers? Where would I put the uninstaller during the install so the user finds it? Since the user needs root access to do some of our install, they would need root access to delete parts of it as well.
I haven't seen any uninstallers for even Apple software. Other than copying the apps located in "/Applications" to the trash, how do you uninstall them?
