I did consider that but it seemed quite a risk for what is likely a short-term problem. I'm not very comfortable that InnoSetup will do the right thing with those changing during an upgrade. Ie; will it uninstall the old registry keys during upgrade, or even at uninstall? Also, I'm considering using the old GUID keys to detect old installations of TortoiseHg. -- Steve Borho ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ Tortoisehg-develop mailing list Tortoisehg-develop@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tortoisehg-develop
