Run a custom action on Uninstall or uninstall a service during Uninstall

Portal User asked a question.

I need to uninstall a Windows service during uninstall. Is there a way to do this?

If not, I need to run a custom action that does it. Can you run a Custom Action during the Uninstall??

Btw, this is for MSI. There are no scripts.

Thanks

First, add a script function to uninstall service by ServiceRemoveService in scripts.

Second, add a Custom Action to call your function by the Custom Action Wizard.

Finally, insert your Custom Action to Sequences -> Installation -> Execute, then set the condition.

Hope this helps you.
