List of forum topicsSubject: Custom uninstall reg key?
When CreateInstall registers my uninstaller, it puts it in the registry here:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\MyProgramName
However I have renamed my product, so when my users upgrade they see two entries to uninstall in the Programs control panel.
Can I tell CreateInstall to continue to use the old MyProgramName as the registry key?
thanks
Find the command 'Add to Add/Remove List' command in your Instal Script.
Specify what you need in 'Display Name' field there.
It's not the Display Name that I needed to change. I found that if I set
ar_name = OldName
then it works as I wanted.
Thanks.
