[izpack-users] Uninstall and shortcuts

[Carmel Morrissey]

Hi Fabrice

The uninstaller that was within Izpack did not allow for any customization
... it assumes that you are uninstalling the entire product and not just
uninstall of individual components.  Was using Installshield before so
customers are used to uninstalling individual components and reinstalling if
required.

The installer uses the ShortcutPanel functionality within Izpack to create
the shortcuts.  

To get the uninstaller I desired I created another set of panels and created
a second jar file called uninstall.jar that performs the uninstall.
Therefore the uninstall is a separate application really.  I would like to
invoke some action to perform the removal of the Shortcuts - the opposite of
the Create Shortcut Panel.  

Am working on:
- OS = Windows 2003, Windows XP, Linux, Sun Solaris ... so far.
- Application Server = Weblogic, OC4J, Oracle Full AS, Websphere
- Java Version = 1.4.2_06

Regards
Carmel

Hi,

Shorcuts are usually removed automatically when uninstalling.
You mentioned that you mimicked processpanel.... did you mean aslo shortcuts

?
How are your shortcuts created to start with ? Is it with the usual shorcut 
panels or something or your own ?

If it's our common features I don't see why shortcuts wouldn't be deleted. 
Check the IzPack installer itself as an example. In that case there's I 
think that your changes have probably caused that issue.

If you created those shortcuts using your own way then we need more details 
on how you did to help you out.

It would be helpful also to know which environment you're using (OS, java 
version...).

Cheers,
Fabrice
