I had created an InstallShield MSI project and added a shortcut for the uninstallation (msiexec.exe /x {ProductGUID}). The uninstallation shortcut did work....and removed all the files and shortcuts created by my project. However, it did not remove the entry in the ARP of control panel. Therefore, when i tried to launch the setup.exe again, it showed the "modify/repair/remove" dialog......and all these options cannot work normally. Finally i found the reason is there are two registry keys under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall" created with installation process, but "msiexec.exe /x" only removed the first key with {ProductGUID}, the second key with "InstallShield_{ProductGUID}" remained !? Can anyone kindly tell me how to solve this problem ?!
sorry for the duplicated post...but i really need help...
I have tried to modify the command to "msiexec /x InstallShield_{ProductGUID}" but it didn't work..... the error message says... (sorry, i am not using english os, so..)
it cannot open this msi package, please check the msi package exists, or is it a normal Windows Installer package.....
what can i do else !?
and i also found the uninstallstrings under two registry keys are different... the uninstallstring key of {ProductGUID} is "msiexec /x {ProductGUID}" and the other one of InstallShield_{ProductGUID} is ""C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information\{ProductGUID}\setup.exe" -runfromtemp -l0x0404 -removeonly"
what's the difference of these two strings ? and how can i modify the uninstallstring in an InstallShield MSI Project !?
