New Installer Option: Run executable at start of uninstall

Add an  option in the installer build to run cleanup-programs during uninstall.

 

On the advanced tab in the Installer build there is an option called: "Run executable at end of installation", but there is no such option for the deinstallation.

 

We use the existing option to run a batch file that installs and starts the application as a service. If the user decides to uninstall the application we would like to run another batch file to stop and deinstall  the service - but there is no option to run an executable during deinstallation.

I am going to close this idea as Duplicate. I do recognize that you posted the idea first but the other post (http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW-Idea-Exchange/Installer-option-to-quot-Run-executable-at-the-beginni...) does have more Kudos at the moment which will give the idea more of a shot at getting implemented which is the ultimate goal of getting these ideas fleshed out.
