07/08/2019, 8:05 AM@blue-australia-25873 Just wanted to know how to achieve using electron. I have created the exe file for windows and things work great. But when I am installing the app, I need to show few screens to the user like, terms, accept auto update etc. That needs to come before installing the app. When user clicks cancel, should not install it. Now how I am trying is, after opening the exe, it installs the app, then shows the screens for settings, terms etc. If user clicks cancel and doesnt want to install, I will uninstall the app.
That leads me to the next question, can we uninstall the app through code?
