Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you. Yes, I've tried a removeOnUninstall attribute. Here's what my current element looks like: <RemoveRegistryKey Root='HKCU' Key='Software\MyApp\MyProduct' Action='removeOnUninstall' />
But after an upgrade my registry settings have been wiped clean. Removing this line removes the problem. I'm using <RemoveExistingProducts> to handle my upgrade, which I suspect is triggering the uninstall: <RemoveExistingProducts Before='InstallInitialize' /> On Wed, Jan 14, 2009 at 5:36 PM, puyo puy <puyo...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Have you try to put removeOnUninstall in Action attribute ?
