Launching a web page when a user uninstalls our software

When a user uninstalls our software, often we want to know why. In this recipe, we'll see how to open a web page in surveymonkey.com after an uninstallation. We can use this site to build a survey that asks the user why they're removing the software.

Getting ready

To prepare for this recipe, perform the following steps:

1. Create a new setup project and call it OpenWebPageAfterUninstallInstaller.

2. We have to add at least one file to our installer for the installation to complete successfully. Add a file called Sample.txt to the project and add the Component and File elements to include it in the installation:

   <ComponentGroup Id="ProductComponents" 
                   Directory="INSTALLFOLDER">
     <Component Id="cmpSampleTXT" 
                Guid="{71C66E47-B398-4F06-98C9-4143495772A4}">
       <File Source="Sample.txt" />
     </Component>
   </ComponentGroup>
