        Hi Salome,
   
  you can store the username in the registry (but only the username) in a key 
that is not by default deleted on uninstall.

    Thanks for you answer, but just one other question, is there a way to just 
store the username? 

    You see, customers keep losing their username and so once they have 
unistalled the software the next time they want to install it they can't 
remeber their username.I wanted to know if there's a way to save the username 
they enter somwhere and the next time they want to install the software it 
automatically restores the username in the username box.

     

    thanks.

      Hi,

     

    even if you use a custom action to encrypt and decrypt the credentials, it 
would be unsafe  to store them, cause they coud be found and decrypted.

     

    The data you store can be hacked on (RegistryKeys, File) as well as your 
code that you use to store/encrypt/decrypt them. If you use tools, they can be 
extracted from the msi, if you use a stringkey for de/encryption, it can be 
extracted from the msi… no encryption is safe as long as all secrets are 
shipped with the data.
