[WiX-users] Why isn't this registry entry removed

I need to remove a registry entry on install that may or may not exist. I found a thread on this forum that said a good way to do this is using this method, but it fails to remove the entry. What have I done wrong? Directory Id=TARGETDIR Name=SourceDir Directory Id=ProgramFilesFolder

Re: [WiX-users] Deleting registry entry using custom action

The registry entry that I need to remove was not created by the wix installer, and also it has to be done at the very end of the installation (hence why I'm using a custom action) -- View this message in context:

I've already done this using a CA that launches a VB script. I was wondering if there's an alternative method that doesn't require any external scripting. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Deleting-registry-entry-using-custom-action-tf3982140.html#a11305744 Sent from the

Re: [WiX-users] Deleteing a registry entry at the end of the install

It's purely a matter of economics, we have a proven NSIS installer that works perfectly but we have one client (an important one, but not one that pays a lot) who requires an MSI installer. Rewriting the installer for them is not viable as it's quite complex and so we are looking for an easy way

[WiX-users] Deleteing a registry entry at the end of the install

Is there a way to delete a registry entry using a custom action? The registry entry is created as part of the install process, but the very final thing I must do is to remove it. I've thought about using a custom action to launch a bit of vb code that will do it, but I'm thinking there must a

Re: [WiX-users] wix as a wrapper for NSIS

Slight change to our requirement here as I can see why the other method would be unreliable. 1 - Launch the MSI, this launches our NSIS installer which installs silently (I've already got this working). This also installs our NSIS uninstall exe. 2 - Running the MSI uninstaller should launch our

Re: [WiX-users] wix as a wrapper for NSIS

The said that they need it to be an MSI as they have some kind of software management system that only handles MSIs. I don't have any more details than that. Is it possible to force the MSI to not create the uninstall entry? I guess that would be sufficient, it probably wouldn't even matter if

I'll go back to them and ask for some more details. In the mean time, does anyone actually know if what I'm trying to achieve is possible? Carl -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/wix-as-a-wrapper-for-NSIS-tf3878437.html#a10996131 Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive
