The uninstaller is a special application for uninstalling an installation. It is used in various contexts:
The uninstaller cannot be deleted from the tree of installer elements. If you do not wish to generate an uninstaller, you can disable it.
You can add new custom installer application by clicking on the
[Add]
button on the right side of the list and choosing Add Application from the popup.
The application templates dialog
will be displayed and lets you choose a starting point for your custom installer application.
Application templates are entirely made up of existing screens, actions and form components.
You can modify the selected application template after adding it.
Unlike the installer and uninstaller above, custom applications are also created for archive media files. Please see the help topic on screens and actions for more information on how to create first-run installers for archives.
Custom installer applications with a non-empty "executable directory" property are automatically added to the "Default file set". Unlike launchers, they cannot be assigned to specific file sets. If your installation components do no include the root of the default file set, you have to select the custom installer applications explicitly in the installation component configuration. If the custom installer application is added to the .install4j directory by leaving the executable directory empty, they will always be included.
