Hi I am trying to use a setupDLL in my installation with Installshield. My
setupDLL has the four functions to be exported in a form similar to this :
------------------------------
/* taken from the installshield example code */
codeUNINSTALL_INIT Uninstall_Init(HWND hwndParent,
LPCTSTR pszInstallDir)
{
  MessageBox(hwndParent, "Pre-uninstall", "Pre-UnInstall", MB_OK);
  return codeUNINSTALL_INIT_CONTINUE;
}
-------------------------------

I am giving this DLL as a setup DLL in the Windows CE object creation of
Installshield DevStudio9. I am trying to install on a SH3 PocketPC.

The installation works fine and all the files get installed, however I do
not see any message boxes during the installation or removal.

Any idea what I might be missing in order to see these messageboxes? I tried
specifying this DLL as self registering and without it also.

Any input will be appreciated. Thanks for your time.
