accessing the Windows installer service / database

[UncleSmokin'Joe]

Hey all -

Does anyone know how I would go about accessing the Windows installer
service to change which program runs when you go to uninstall a
program from add/remove programs? I'm re-packaging software and
because we often do things outside of an MSI file when installing, we
want to be able to undo those changes when uninstalling.


Thanks a lot -

Uncle SJ

Thanks Andrew, but I'm afraid I left out a critical component. I need
to be able to access the installer database via a script, preferably
VBScript. When I create a package, I want to include something that
tells the installer database to use a program that I specify to be the
uninstaller, rather than the default that Windows assigns.

Thanks . . .
