Question:
It's a simple matter to start the add/remove program (INSTAPP.APP in
\SYSTEM\APPS\INSTAPP\) with just the name of a SIS file to start an
_installation_, but does anyone know how to initiate a _removal_?
What's the magic rune I can pass as a command-line?"
Answer:
The same way - just pass in "UNINSTALL" as the tail end to the command line
The way this is called from the Add/remove control panel is to create a CApaCommandLine* cmdLine, set it up with the file
name, library name etc...,
for an installation you call cmdLine->SetTailEndL(_L("INSTALL"));
for removal
cmdLine->SetTailEndL(_L("UNINSTALL"));
Note: _LIT should be used in place of _L from ER5 onwards.
