Components description for installer/uninstaller

Bill2 · 10th January 2007, 07:05

Hello, (I'm french, so ...)

I'm trying to do something, but I don't find how to.

I Use a Modern UI

I want descriptions for components in the UNinstaller, but I don't want descs in the Installer.

If I use !define MUI_COMPONENTSPAGE_NODESC a the start of the script, then the !define MUI_COMPONENTSPAGE_SMALLDESC just before the declaration of the uninstaller does nothing ...

In fact, there are desc in both Install and Uninstall
or NoDesc in both.

How can I do what I want ?

Thank's for help.

Seems that it wouldn't be possible since the uninstaller does not created at compile time, it's created at run time, indeed the installer copies its self, so interface settings that have been added to the installer they are added to the uninstaller as well.
The specific UI (modern_smalldesc.exe/modern_nodesc.exe) that has been added at compile time to the installer, affects the uninstaller as well.
