FYI, InstallEase from LANRev has an option to create an Uninstall package when you use it to create the install package...all it does is create an empty installer with a shell script removing everything that was installed. -Mike On 11/7/07 6:42 PM, "Stéphane Sudre" <ssudre2@wanadoo.fr> wrote: On mercredi, novembre 7, 2007, at 10:01 AM, Damodar Shenoy wrote:

Hi List,

I am working on PackageMaker 2.1.1, in which there is no support for uninstall.

I wanted to know whether the uninstall feature is supported in Leopard?

No.

And How can I support the uninstall feature in PackageMaker 2.1.1?

You can't. One of the current solutions is to either let your users rely on existing utility that try to uninstall applications or to write a specific script or tool to do this for your app. Yet, with the new database replacing receipts and the fact that apparently packages are no more in disgrace in the UI guidelines when it comes to installation, things look a bit brighter for the future. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
