You can't in that case. Use a different RegistryValue for the KeyPath of that directory if you need that one to persist in certain situations (try something like <RegistryValue Name="Installed" Value="true" Type="string" KeyPath="yes" /> ).
Move that one to it's own Component & add the requisite Condition Element.

Actually, this does not work :( Registry is left intact, but installation folder is never removed. I understand this has to do with the KeyPath-thingy. How do I make sure that the folder is removed even if some HKCU-key is left untouched? <DirectoryRef Id="LocalProgramsFolder"> <Component Id="LocalProgramsFolderRef" Guid="YOUR_GUID"> <CreateFolder /> <RemoveFolder Id="LocalProgramsFolder" On="uninstall" /> <RegistryKey Root="HKCU" Key="Software\[Manufacturer]\[ProductName]" Action="create"> <RegistryValue Name="InstallPath" Value="[INSTALLLOCATION]" Type="string" KeyPath="yes" /> </RegistryKey> </Component> </DirectoryRef> > From: kristoffer.daniels...@live.se > To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Date: Sat, 8 May 2010 22:42:09 +0200 > Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Conditional removal of HKCU-key? > > > Hmmm, seems this did the trick: > > <RegistryKey ...
