{
public PATSInstall()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
public override void Install(System.Collections.IDictionary stateSaver)
{
base.Install(stateSaver);
//string fileName = "PATS Installed";
//using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(("ProjectConfigPath//PreviousConfig.txt").ToString(), false))
//{
// sw.WriteLine(fileName);
//}
}
[System.Security.Permissions.SecurityPermission(System.Security.Permissions.SecurityAction.Demand)]
public override void Uninstall(IDictionary savedState)
{
base.Uninstall(savedState);
//string fileName = "PATS UnInstalled";
//using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(("ProjectConfigPath//PreviousConfig.txt").ToString(), false))
//{
// sw.WriteLine(fileName);
//}
}
public override void Rollback(IDictionary savedState)
{
base.Rollback(savedState);
//Add custom code here
}
//public override void Commit(IDictionary savedState)
//{
// base.Commit(savedState);
// Add custom code here
//}
//public override void Uninstall(IDictionary savedState)
//{
// Process application = null;
// foreach (var process in Process.GetProcesses())
// {
// if (!process.ProcessName.ToLower().Contains("creatinginstaller")) continue;
// application = process;
// break;
// }
// if (application != null && application.Responding)
// {
// application.Kill();
// base.Uninstall(savedState);
// }
//}
}
