[Bug 25195] New: WINE msi does not uninstall files correctly and does not update registry

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25195

Summary: WINE msi does not uninstall files correctly and does
                    not update registry
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.7
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: msi
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

When the wine unisntall is selected to remove a program, it starts the program
msi uninstaller, which runs and indicates the program was uninstalled. 
However, the wine uninstaller still shows the program as being installed, the
registry entry for the program unistalled is still in:

/hkey/local_machine/software/microsoft/windows/currentversion/uninstall

which prevents the program from being installed again and the programs install
directory and its contents have not been removed as they should have been.

Its as if all the WINE msi unistall functions are placeholders.

I would recommend a real live Windows application which has an Installshield
installed be obtained to see what actions should happen on install, uninstall
and install again.  Compare what happens on a real Windows systems and what
happens on WINE.

What program? Please give an example, preferably something with a free
download.

You can use:

http://www.securenetterm.com/pub/nt325422.exe

It is a free download, you can install and uninstall multiple times.  It only
creates one registry entry, which points to the user .ini file.  Upon an
unistall, all the files in the installation directory should be removed,
including the directory itself, the following uninstall registry entry should
be removed and the user .ini file should not be removed since it has the
"Permanent" and "Never Overright" msi properties.

/hkey/local_machine/software/microsoft/windows/currentversion/uninstall

The user .ini file can be changed by adding a couple of comment lines, then
upon a uninstall/install procedure, the user .ini file should still have the
added comment lines.

This should be fixed, except for the installation directory not being removed.
Please report that in a new bug.
