PATH environment variable gets removed on uninstallation

Hi there,

I have created an installer for our product (product.exe) and I have an issue that the PATH variable gets removed from registry after uninstalling the product.

here's few things I have done to the PATH variable in the installer:
1. retrieve the value from existing PATH in registry by calling 'RegDBGetValueEx'
2. append more paths to the PATH variable
3. set the new PATH variable by calling 'RegDBSetValueEx'

I am not sure why the installer would remove the PATH variable from registry on uninstallation. Anyone has any idea? Please help!

Thank you very much,

K

Please make sure that you have disabled the logging;
Disable ( Logging );
Why can’t you use “System Configuration - > Environment Variable” to set the environment variable.
