Bug ID: 41609
           Summary: Uninstaller entries are not removed from the registry
                    when the uninstaller says they will be
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.9.21
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Mac OS X
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]

When you click on an entry in the Wine uninstaller for which the uninstaller is
unable to execute, a dialog box is shown reporting that the installer was
unable to execute.

It prompts you with whether or not to remove the uninstall entry from the
registry with the options Yes or No.

When selecting Yes, the uninstall entry is never removed from the registry and
remains in the list.

The registry entry is supposed to be deleted by the following lines in the
following file:

dlls/appwiz.cpl/appwiz.c 535-538

The code there:

/* delete the application's uninstall entry */
RegOpenKeyExW(iter->regroot, PathUninstallW, 0, KEY_READ, &hkey);
RegDeleteKeyW(hkey, iter->regkey);
RegCloseKey(hkey);

I can't solve this myself at the moment because I don't know C++ or the win32
API, but I believe that the error is within these lines.

Should be fixed in wine 2.0.rc2.

I don't know exactly how to test this.

This fixes it. I tested it by installing 7-Zip, which uses an EXE uninstaller,
then deleting the uninstaller (C:\Program Files\7-Zip\Uninstall.exe). After
attempting to uninstall it from appwiz.cpl, I was prompted to delete the
registry entry. This time, it worked and the entry was deleted.

Thanks!
