Ok, I see this guy:
createKeyAndRemoveKeyOnUninstall
Creates the key, if absent, when the parent component is installed then remove
the key with all its values and subkeys when the parent component is
uninstalled.
...as an Action for the Registry element. That is almost what I'm looking for,
except I need to remove a REG value and leave the key it's under intact. I'm
modifying a value in an important MS key on install, and I want to either
change it back or remove it during uninstall. When I build this project as a
"Setup Wizard" project in VS2005, the MSI generated has the desired
behavior...so it's got to be possible. Any ideas?
Thanks for the help!
Alan

Nope, I was wrong.
See the action attribute of registry element in the WiX help.
2007/11/14, János Brezniczky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
If removal is what you expect, ICE validation (either with Orca or smoke) is
related to the question, and running it will help you in case roaming user
profiles would be involved.
As I remember <Registry... values are removed together with the contents of the
component they belong to.
2007/11/14, Lanteigne, Alan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
During removal, should a WIX/Votive generated MSI remove any registry values it
wrote during install? Or is there some place you have to specify that as the
desired behavior?
Thanks,
Alan
