Get input from user during uninstall

[coder9341]

Hello,

I need to get a password from the user during uninstall in order to completely remove a part of the application. It works fine if I put a prompt on one of the uninstall dialog boxes, and I re-run the install program to uninstall. If I remove using Add/Remove programs however, the dialog box is not displayed during uninstall. Is there a way to either:

1) Display a dialog box to prompt the user for input that will appear when the application is uninstalled from Add/Remove Programs?

Or:

2) When uninstalling from Add/Remove programs, have it not "silently" uninstall, i.e. show all of the uninstall dialogs.

Thanks for any help anyone can give me,
Chris

How about removing it from Add /remove programs, so that it can only be uninstalled from a command line ?

Or, in HKLM/Software/microsoft/Windows/Currentversion/uninstall manipulate the commandline string for uninstallations.

I tried adding the /qf and other options to the command line in the registry, but it still uninstalled the same way, without the dialogs. Does anyone know what the UninstallString should be for this?
