Re: [WiX-users] Do not remove registry values on uninstall (Lisa Gracias)
Actually, I found that using create does NOT do it. In fact I tried several of the settings, including none. What I found was that any registry node or registry node immediately above a value that I touched, during install, was removed, and that included registry nodes that my install had not created. registry path covered by NDA which was created by the install of a software product, which is needed by what I am working on NEEDS to have installed, got removed when the application I am working on was uninstalled because I had created a value in it registry path covered by NDA:more NDA=1 I can't tell you WHY was I creating a value in that node, but I had a legitimate, reasonable, and necessary reason (which the owner of that needed software package knew about, and approved of at the time).
