Installer not writing Installshield_{GUID} registry key.

Hello.

My installer builds and installs fine however my company never used the windows installer built in methods for handing removal of old versions. As such, I need to parse the registry to find GUIDS and uninstall strings.

This works pretty well however I recently ran into a problem where the Installshield_{GUID} registry key is not getting created. This is the key that contains the uninstall string which I need to execute the uninstall sequence. I know of no settings that would effect this key in this way. Does anyone have a clue?

Is this an InstallScript MSI project? If it's InstallScript MSI or pure InstallScript, does the value of UNINSTALLKEY (InstallScript variable) display anything different?
