Turns out my problem was that the key was being created, but under the HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall key so I didn't see where it went.
The installer was built and installed on Windows 7 64 bit, but I hadn't set the Platform='x64' value in my <Package ... /> section. Once I fixed that, the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall key is being created as I wanted. thanks! ________________________________ From: Peter Shirtcliffe <[email protected]> To: [email protected]; General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, December 7, 2011 11:01 AM Subject: RE: [WiX-users] Creating HKLM\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa368032%28v=vs.85%29 .aspx -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 07 December 2011 16:57 To: [email protected] Subject: [WiX-users] Creating HKLM\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall I would like for my wix-generated install to create the various registry entries under HKLM\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{Product-code} MSDN seems to indicate that these keys are updated by the Windows Installer service (see link below), but my installs created with Wix don't seem to create those entries. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa372105%28v=vs.85%29 .aspx Is there some property/setting in my wxs file that I need to add, or do I need to manually create those registry keys myself? thanks! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Cloud Services Checklist: Pricing and Packaging Optimization This white paper is intended to serve as a reference, checklist and point of discussion for anyone considering optimizing the pricing and packaging model of a cloud services business.
