RemoveRegistry

Hello,

I am having a bit of a problem and would like a little help from the community if possible. I have created a new installshield package that upgrades and existing product. The problem is the existing products last install shield developer created a mess and the uninstall will not function correctly. What I am trying to do is remove the registry key for the Add Remove Programs within Admin studio. I apologize in advance since I am pretty new to using this piece of software. I have tried the following and I just can't get the current build to uninstall the old registry key under the uninstall key.

I have the following under RemoveRegistry:

Root = 2 For HKLM

Key = SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{AE9908A6-AC46-11D4-80E2-00C04F63AA89}

Name "-" Just the minus sign nothing else

Component: RemoveRegistry_Component


I really am having problems no matter what I try I am unable to remove the uninstall key from the registry to clean things up on all of our workstations. Would someone please help me out with this? :confused:

I would really appreciate any help or direction. I have also tried vbscript but that also fails. I really would rather use "RemoveRegistry" if possible. But at this point if there is anothe way please help.

Thanks in advance.

The entries in the table look good to me. Can you post the logfile where you're trying to get this removed? This should display things like the component action state, and the actions that MSI is taking against the registry.
Yes let me take a look and try to grab the log files for you.
Here are some of the logs I found on registry keys. It seems it does delete but also reinstalls itself for some reason I think I must have some incorrect keys entries?

Ok I think I may have figured it out. I now have install shield removing the old keys on install. Now the problem is after the keys are deleted they are still showing up in Add/Remove Programs as dead links. They show but there is not add or remove button just says rarely used...:confused:

At least I am getting somewhere now... Any ideas how I would clean these dead keys up?
It could be that there's some other location in the registry where some of this gets stored. I would search for references to {D402728E-28D1-49A9-90C4-1BF22BCEFE0E} to see if anything comes up.

On 64 bit systems, I do know that the 64 bit portion of the registry maintains some Uninstall information in another location. So this could certainly be something similar.

Yes sorry for the late reply I did do a search and did in fact find the other keys that needed to be removed. Everything works perfect. Thanks for the reply. 😄
