The RemoveIniValues action deletes .ini file information that the application needs to delete from .ini files. The deletion of the information is gated by the Component table. A .ini value is deleted if the corresponding component has been set to be installed either locally or run from source.
| RemoveIniFile.FileName | The .ini file name in which the value is to be deleted. |
| RemoveIniFile.Directory_ | Directory for the .ini file. This is a foreign key into the Directory table. |
| RemoveIniFile.Section | The .ini file section. |
| RemoveIniFile.Key | The .ini file key under the section. |
| RemoveIniFile.Value | Value to be deleted. |
| RemoveIniFile.Action | How the value is to be deleted. For more information, see the IniFile table. |
| Component.Action | Action field from the Component table for the component record corresponding to RemoveIniFile.Component_. Must be either: iisLocal = 1: Item is to be installed locally (item is currently uninstalled or installed from run from source). iisSource = 2: Item is to be installed from run from source (item is currently uninstalled or installed locally). |
The RemoveIniValues action also removes the .ini information that the application writes to the system registry with the WriteIniValues action. A .ini value is deleted from the corresponding .ini file if the corresponding component has been set to be uninstalled.
| IniFile.FileName | The .ini file name in which the value is written. |
| IniFile.Directory_ | Directory for the .ini file. This is a foreign key into the Directory table. |
| IniFile.Section | The .ini file section. |
| IniFile.Key | The .ini file key under the section. |
| IniFile.Value | Value that is written. |
| IniFile.Action | How the value is written. For more information, see the IniFile table. The RemoveIniValues action deletes the value that is written by reversing the IniFile.Action. |
| Component.Action | The Action field from the Component table for the component record corresponding to IniFile.Component_. Must be: iisAbsent = 0: Item is not installed. |
None
The InstallValidate action must be called before calling RemoveIniValues. If a WriteIniValues action is used, it must appear after RemoveIniValues.
