Running devenve.exe /setup after uninstall in Wix

问题:

I am working on an installer (MSI, Wix) for MVVM Light and have an issue. I need to run devenv.exe /setup on install and on uninstall to add/remove templates to the New Project menu. While we nailed the syntax on install, we are unable to find the correct syntax to run this on uninstall.

This is what we have:

<InstallExecuteSequence>
    <Custom Action='UpdateVS2010Templates'
            After='InstallFiles'>VS2010EXISTS</Custom>

    <Custom Action='UpdateVS2010TemplatesUninstall'
            After='RemoveFiles'>REMOVE = "All"</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>

with

<CustomAction Id="UpdateVS2010Templates"
                Impersonate="no"
                Execute="deferred"
                Directory="INSTALLLOCATION"
                ExeCommand='"[VS10INSTALL]\Common7\IDE\DEVENV.EXE" /SETUP'
                Return='ignore' >
</CustomAction>

<CustomAction Id="UpdateVS2010TemplatesUninstall"
                Impersonate="no"
                Execute="deferred"
                Directory="INSTALLLOCATION"
                ExeCommand='"[VS10INSTALL]\Common7\IDE\DEVENV.EXE" /SETUP'
                Return='ignore' >
</CustomAction>

Can anyone indicate what the correct syntax would be?

thanks! Laurent

This is functionality that comes with WiX. Replace all that authoring and your custom RegistrySearch with:

<CustomActionRef Id="VS2010Setup" />

Have you tried devenv /installvstemplates after uninstalling the files?

Any chance it's a case sensitivity issue?

Try "ALL" instead of "All" or REMOVE ~= "ALL" as Rob suggests.
