Msi hangs on uninstall
I found out my problem! It was an embedded VBscript Call that was hanging since it needed to write to the file that was unavailable. I simply added one If statement and it's now works great.

I need your help.
I created a package where I use System Search to find a file. If the file is not found I cancel the installation.
When I install my package and that the file is there the installation goes on and completes and when the file ins't the installation is cancelled with a custom message which is what I want.
So here come's my problem.
Before uninstalling If I rename or delete the file being searched the uninstall hangs and goes forever even if I press Cancel
The last lines on the verbose log file are:
[blockquote]
[/blockquote]And also can see in the log file that the AppSearch as been skipped.
[blockquote]
Then I tried to put the file back where it should be then the uninstall goes smoothly.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Nelson

Are you sure it's an AppSearch issue? Maybe to see if it is an issue with the AppSearch mechanism, try conditioning the AppSearch action (In InstallExecuteSequence table and InstallUISequence table) to only run on installation of the product?

Exactly. What condition(s) have you applied to the AppSearch action?

I was just going to suggest the same as Captain_Planet.
Along with the other suggestion - don't delete/rename the file that is being searched [:D]
