[WiX-users] Why isn't this registry entry removed

I need to remove a registry entry on install that may or may not exist. I found a thread on this forum that said a good way to do this is using this method, but it fails to remove the entry. What have I done wrong?

Re: [WiX-users] Deleting registry entry using custom action

I've already done this using a CA that launches a VB script. I was wondering if there's an alternative method that doesn't require any external scripting. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Deleting-registry-entry-using-custom-action-tf3982140.html#a11305744 Sent from the wi

Re: [WiX-users] Deleting registry entry using custom action

The registry entry that I need to remove was not created by the wix installer, and also it has to be done at the very end of the installation (hence why I'm using a custom action) -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Deleting-registry-entry-using-custom-action-tf3982140.html#a1

Re: [WiX-users] Deleteing a registry entry at the end of the install

It certainly isn't my preferred method either:) So back to the original question, is what I'm trying to achieve possible? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Deleteing-a-registry-entry-at-the-end-of-the-install-tf3952329.html#a11247918 Sent from the wix-users mailing list arch

Re: [WiX-users] Deleteing a registry entry at the end of the install

It's purely a matter of economics, we have a proven NSIS installer that works perfectly but we have one client (an important one, but not one that pays a lot) who requires an MSI installer. Rewriting the installer for them is not viable as it's quite complex and so we are looking for an easy way

[WiX-users] Deleteing a registry entry at the end of the install

Is there a way to delete a registry entry using a custom action? The registry entry is created as part of the install process, but the very final thing I must do is to remove it. I've thought about using a custom action to launch a bit of vb code that will do it, but I'm thinking there must a mo

Re: [WiX-users] wix as a wrapper for NSIS

Slight change to our requirement here as I can see why the other method would be unreliable. 1 - Launch the MSI, this launches our NSIS installer which installs silently (I've already got this working). This also installs our NSIS uninstall exe. 2 - Running the MSI uninstaller should launch our

Re: [WiX-users] wix as a wrapper for NSIS

The said that they need it to be an MSI as they have some kind of software management system that only handles MSIs. I don't have any more details than that. Is it possible to force the MSI to not create the uninstall entry? I guess that would be sufficient, it probably wouldn't even matter if

[WiX-users] wix as a wrapper for NSIS

We have a working NSIS installer for our app that works fine. But one of our clients has asked us to start producing a MSI version. So my question is this. Would it be possible to use wix to create a wrapper installation that runs our NSIS installer silently, then removes all traces of itself.
