I just checked in an updated version of WPKG which supports recursive parsing
of uninstall registry settings. Probably you can verify that it's working with
your RationalPlan Viewer installation.
I did some tests with Windows XP and Windows 7 and found that none of them
supported uninstall entries defined in sub-keys within the registry. The items
put there simply did not appear within Control Panel > Software/Uninstall.
Nevertheless WPKG should now detect these entries and allows uninstall checks
for them.
Changes included in this commit:
NEW: WPKG now allows uninstall entries to be defined in sub-nodes of the
uninstall registry key. I was unable to verify that Windows supports such
entries but as reported RationalPlan Viewer seems to add such a sub-node:
Uninstall\RationalPlan\Viewer.
There might be other programs doing the same.
During tests Windows XP and Windows 7 were ignoring such entries but now
WPKG supports these entries now.
NEW: Enhanced wrapper to use sysnative directory. The sysnative directory
allows 32-bit programs to access the 64-bit binaries within
%SystemRoot%\system32\. This way it is not necessary any more to copy the
64-bit version of cmd.exe to the 64-bit\ sub-folder since the wrapper can
launch the locally available 64-bit cmd.exe.
As always the latest version of WPKG (1.1.3-RC4) can be downloaded here:
