[Bug 25686] New: uninstaller and appwiz.cpl fails to remove registry entry
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25686 Summary: uninstaller and appwiz.cpl fails to remove registry entry Product: Wine Version: 1.3.10 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: programs AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: support(a)securenetterm.com The WINE uninstaller.exe and appwiz.cpl both fail to remove the: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall registry entry for the program being uninstalled. Installers such as InstallShield will not reinstall a program if the registry entry is not removed. This forces many uses to use regedit to delete the registry entry every time an application program needs to be uninstalled and installed again. Note that both programs curretly have the logic to remove the registry entry, but it is only done if the attempt to uninstall a program fails and the user requests the entry be removed. This is not the way it works on a real Windows system. The registry entry is removed upon successfull uninstall. Both programs contain the function UninstallProgram() which contain three lines of code that delete the registry entry of a program being unistalled. This logic needs to be duplicated for a successfully removal. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
