Different FileDescription for installer and uninstaller

aclavier · 26th August 2009, 10:41

Hi, All
Is it possible to have the FileDescription set by VIAddVersionKey different for installer and uninstaller ?
Thanks for help
Anne

Nope.

Well, it is possible if you create the uninstaller at compile time with a "different" script, but it's not a 1 line solution

Any way to do it with system command after WriteUninstaller command ?

I finally tried Anders solution and this works fine.
Thanks to all for your answers

Slight thread derail.

We currently create an uninstaller that creates the real uninstaller (if you get my drift). This is the only way we can digitally sign our uninstaller.

Can anyone think of another way to do this?
