using productName instead of [ProductCode] in uninstall key

[yann_bertaud]

Hello

by default the installer sets the uninstall registry strings in
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\[ProductCode]]

Is there a way to have the installer use the productname instead of productcode?

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\[ProductName]]

if so, how do I set up my installshield basic msi project file to do that?

thanks

Yann

While you can change the key in an InstallScript or InstallScript MSI project using the UNINSTALLKEY InstallScript variable, in a Basic MSI project the key is controlled by the engine, and I'm not sure it can be modified.

(Out of curiosity, is there a particular reason you want to change it? The subkey is an implementation detail that users shouldn't explore, and using a GUID instead of words does a better job of avoiding collisions between products, versions, and so forth...)
