Actually, I found that using create does NOT do it. In fact I tried several of the settings, including "none". What I found was that any registry node or registry node immediately above a value that I touched, during install, was removed, and that included registry nodes that my install had not created.
<registry path covered by NDA> which was created by the install of a software product, which is needed by what I am working on NEEDS to have installed, got removed when the application I am working on was uninstalled because I had created a value in it <registry path covered by NDA>:<more NDA>=1 I can't tell you WHY was I creating a value in that node, but I had a legitimate, reasonable, and necessary reason (which the owner of that needed software package knew about, and approved of at the time).
