There is nothing in Windows (the operating system) to really help you remove registry keys from all user profiles. There are a few things (in particular, roaming profiles) that make it impossible to correctly handle this problem.
I generally suggest, leave the stuff behind... and if the user upgrades to a new version of your application, use that data during migration. That's what Office does to great success, IMHO. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Anthony Wieser Sent: Wednesday, May 23, 2007 6:55 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Registry Cleanup at uninstall Reading over the documentation for MSI, it appears that you can have a registry key and all subkeys removed at uninstall if you include a name of '-' instead of an acutal name. I can see how that would work with HKLM entries, but under UAC with Vista, it probably will only uninstall from the user whose credentials were used. Is there any way to remove all HKCU items for all of the users on a machine created in the registry on uninstall, or are people stuck with having to clean it up manually themselves.
