InstallScript: UAC asks if I want uninstall Microsoft Windows {GUID}
I was hoping someone else has seen my problem, but I can't find it on the forums. I built an InstallScript installer using InstallShield 2009. Our product installs nicely, but when uninstalling on Windows platforms with User Account Control (UAC) enabled we get a strange message:
---- If you started this action, continue.
Uninstall or change an application Microsoft Windows {FCC74B77-EC3E-4DD8-A80B-008A702075A9}
---- (see attachment)
The problem with this is that it might appear to a customer that they are uninstalling a Windows component. How do I get my product name to show up there instead of that GUID?
This may be a related problem, but I've also noticed that our product doesn't show up when I run WMI queries, for example the powershell command:
get-wmiobject win32_product
does not turn up any results for my product.
If I search the registry, I can't find my product's identifier in:
The GUID shown is the AppID for appwiz.cpl, this is used to launch Add/Remove Programs Panel. Refer below registry key - HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppID\{FCC74B77-EC3E-4dd8-A80B-008A702075A9}
The same message appears for many other software, however for some software this doesn't appear.
Hi, Does anyone know if this problem of GUID/ID being displayed instead of the Product Name when the setup.exe (during uninstall) is called has been resolved in Installshield 2011?
