I am working with Adobe Acrobat 5.05. The way that we set up this package to work is to Publish a MSI in Add New Programs that calls a custom action to uninstall any current version and then call the Actual Adobe acrobat setup from an Acrobat CD. Everything works great until you want to uninstall the application.

It has two parts. The Acrobat 5.0 install and then the 5.05 upgrade. When I try to uninstall the Acrobat 5.0 part from add/remove it will call the MSI in the Installer folder and go all the way through the setup again in order to uninstall the product. The 5.05 uninstall works perfectly using the actual Adobe uninstall string.

Does anyone know of a way to make the 5.0 uninstall Not call the MSI and "uninstall"? Or can anyone tell me how I can find out what the name of the installer file is so I can delete it at the end of the custom action?
