            Since version 1.04, the ExperienceUI supports page modes.  This term may be new to you, but it's XPUI-jargon for using identical

            When you insert an XPUI_PAGEMODE macro, three defines are assigned values: XPUI_UN, XPUI_UNFUNC, and XPUI_UNINST.  In the

            Install page mode, these three are blank values.  In the Uninstall page mode, however, they are assigned the values "UN", "un.",
