Subject: [WiX-users] Permanent Component being removed on uninstall
Trying to create a registry key which is edited by an application, and keep the
entire key after the program is uninstalled (incase it is re-installed, want
the stored data to remain)
Here is the sample code. However, every time I install, it creates the proper
key, but when I uninstall via ARP, it removes the entire key.
<Component Id="foo" Guid="xxx" Permanent="yes">
<Registry Action="createKey" Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\foo\blah"/>
</Component>
I've checked the package with ORCA, and it shows the component table with the
attribute of 16, which should translate properly to "permanent".
Even if I manually go in an add a string/Dword, it still all gets removed on
uninstall.
Am I missing something? (using wix 2)
