[CMake] Windows installer creating duplicate entries in Add/Remove Programs
I noticed that when I install CMake 2.8 updates, I get duplicate entries in "Programs and Features" in windows 7 (the Add/Remove programs area). This seems like a bug. I searched the bug database but didn't find anything on this. Can anyone confirm? - Robert Dailey -- Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake

The culprit is in CMakeCPack.cmake where it sets CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_REGISTRY_KEY. That registry key is patch version specific, while the default install directory is minor version specific. So overwriting a previous install will still create a new set of registry keys, and a new entry in Add/Remove programs. -- Clinton Stimpson Elemental Technologies, Inc Computational Simulation Software, LLC www.csimsoft.com -- Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
