Hi, all,
I searched lists.apple.com under installer-dev for "uninstall" and
"uninstaller" and came up with only a couple of answers--both from
long ago--so I'm wondering whether the protocol has changed. I'm
about to distribute an installer package, and would like to know
whether it's possible to include an uninstaller package, as well.
Apologies if this sounds like a terribly newbie-ish question, but can
I create my installer such that the same installer package, upon
opening and finding the current version of its products installed,
provides an uninstall option, without using a script but instead using
the installer's own path determination mechanism (since it does, after
all, know where its components go)?
If I do need a script, what is the recommended way to get it called
from the installer package, so that I don't need to distribute a
separate item for people to open?
I'm using PackageMaker 3.0.3 under Leopard, and am sure that I've
missed something quite obvious in the documentation, but searching
developer.apple.com for "uninstaller" failed to produce anything,
either. Many thanks for your time!
Cheers,
Andrew
