Hi, I am creating an installer and writing to the registry. Third-party
installers might also be writing to the same location as my installer for
sharing information. However, what I am seeing is that upon uninstall, even
keys written by other installers are removed, not just the ones my installer
installs.
This is what I am trying out now:
<RegistryKey Root='HKLM' Key='Software\MyApp'
Action='createAndRemoveOnUninstall'>
<RegistryValue Action='write' Type='string' Name='MyRegistry'
Value='MyValue'/>
<RegistryKey Key='MyAppSub' Action='createAndRemoveOnUninstall'>
<RegistryValue Action='write' Type='string' Name='MySubRegistry'
Value='MyValue'/>
</RegistryKey>
</RegistryKey>
Suppose another installer creates another key, say
"Software\MyApp\AnotherSubKey". When my installer uninstalls, the entire
node Software\MyApp gets removed.
How do I make sure that upon uninstall, only the values that are written by
my installer get removed, and not those written by others?
Thanks.
