Uninstaller

InstallAnywhere automatically creates an uninstaller for each project. The uninstaller can be removed manually. The InstallAnywhere uninstaller typically removes all files and actions that were installed during the installation, although you can control this behavior as desired.

The uninstaller is much like the installer. It is a collection of panels, consoles, and actions. It keeps track of what the installer has done and contains a record of every action run during install time. All pre-uninstall panels, actions, and consoles run first. Then, the uninstaller removes files and performs the uninstall operation of any action found in the files tree. Lastly, post-uninstall actions are run.
