Re: [WiX-users] My setup delete a parent registry key which is not created by it

Anyone could help with this question? Shouldn't the uninstaller only remove the registry key created by itself, but not the parent key, even the parent key is empty after we remove our sub-key? Thanks, -Elfe -- View this message in context:

Re: [WiX-users] How to make the custom action run under LocalSystem account?

If it's a per-user install it won't run as local system. The other issue is that I don't think your plan will work. The system account doesn't usually have any network privileges, so it can't access anything like that remote share. Phil Wilson From:
