issues updating icon in add/remove programs

[ldubois]

I found one or two threads related to that subject but none provides a fix...

When our product was being installed with ISMP 5.03, it used to update the display name and iconpath value in the windows registry.

The issue with ISMP 11.5 is that the registry entry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall does not match the product uuid setup in the project...the entry is something like productuuid-xxxxxxxxx ..
The main problem is to figure the -xxxxxxxxx part out ...

How do you do that???

Thanks!

With 11.5, there is a hash code appended to the end of the uuid.
To get it, do something like this:

String installLocation = arg0.resolveString("$P(absoluteInstallLocation)");
String uid = arg0.resolveString("$P(bean5.key.UID)");
installLocation = FileUtils.normalizeFileName(installLocation, '/');
int hash = installLocation.hashCode();
String uidandhash = uid+hash;

note that there is a hotfix for 11.5 that is needed to make this work. It also works in SP1

FileUtils.normalizeFileName(installLocation, '/');
