Modern UI Abort

[sjanarth]

Hi,

I am trying to call abort from one of my callbacks as shown below :

!define MUI_CUSTOMFUNCTION_GUIINIT .ShowSplash
!define MUI_PAGE_CUSTOMFUNCTION_PRE CheckPrevInstall
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_WELCOME

Function CheckPrevInstall
Push $0
ReadRegStr $0 ${REGROOT} ${REGKEY} ""
StrCmp $0 "" CheckMore
PromptUnInstall:
MessageBox MB_YESNO|MB_ICONQUESTION "A previous version of SWFAudio was found.\
$\n$\nIt is recommended that you uninstall it first.$\n$\nDo you want to do that now?" IDNO NoUnInstall IDYES UnInstall
UnInstall:
ExecWait '$0\Uninstall.exe $R0'
MessageBox MB_OK|MB_ICO

FunctionEnd

Basically am trying to check if a previous version of my app
is installed and if yes, prompt the user to uninstall it first.

If the user chooses not to Uninstall, i need to abort the main installation.

Please help me with this,.

Thanks,
Sathish.

Clicking "No" on the "Confirm UnInstall" message box proceeds with the main install and doesn't abort.

Your Function needs cleaning up...

code:


Function CheckPrevInstall

Push $0



 ReadRegStr $0 ${REGROOT} ${REGKEY} ""

  StrCmp $0 "" 0

 ReadRegStr $0 ${REGROOT} ${ALTREGKEY} ""

  StrCmp $0 "" ExitFunction



 PromptUnInstall:



  MessageBox MB_YESNO|MB_ICONQUESTION "A previous version of SWFAudio was found.\

  $\n$\nIt is recommended that you uninstall it first.$\n$\nDo you want to do that now?" IDNO ExitFunction

  ExecWait '$0\Uninstall.exe $R0'

 

  MessageBox MB_OK|MB_ICONINFORMATION "Click OK to continue installing ${MUI_PRODUCT}."



ExitFunction:

Pop $0

FunctionEnd

Thanks for the reply.

But am afraid that doesn't abort the installation!

My original problem still persists even if i use the code modified as below:

Function CheckPrevInstall2
Push $0
ReadRegStr $0 ${REGROOT} ${REGKEY} ""
StrCmp $0 "" 0 PromptUnInstall
ReadRegStr $0 ${REGROOT} ${ALTREGKEY} ""
StrCmp $0 "" ExitFunction
PromptUnInstall:
MessageBox MB_YESNO|MB_ICONQUESTION "A previous version of SWFAudio was found.\
$\n$\nIt is recommended that you uninstall it first.$\n$\nDo you want to do that now?" IDNO DoAbort
ExecWait '$0\Uninstall.exe $R0'
MessageBox MB_OK|MB_ICONINFORMATION "Click OK to continue installing ${MUI_PRODUCT}."
Goto ExitFunction
DoAbort:
Abort
ExitFunction:
Pop $0
FunctionEnd

Please help.

Oh I thought you wanted it to run the uninstaller and wait for it to finish, and then continue with installation?
That's what my code does.

If you want it to run the uninstaller and then quit, use Exec not ExecWait, and Quit not Abort.
