Alternative uninstall directory?

Hi,

First of all, Im a newbie on this, so take it cool

Q: Is it possible to alter the script so it places the
uninstall stuff into: \Program Files\Uninstall Information\MyApp ??

I've tried but it didn't succeed. Any ideas?

Thanx in advance.

You could write a seperate script for uninstall, compile that, then install it to ...\uninstall information\myapp... . Then in your main script, under section "uninstall" you can SHELLEXEC the uninstaller.

But ask yourself if it is needed to do all that. NSIS let's you add an entry to Add/Remove Programs which is where uninstallers go ( IMHO

)
