I was hoping for some help with a problem I'm having with uninstall from the
Wix Maintenance dialog.
As part of my installer I generate a registry entry to store the location
for a Java directory the user specifies. This is done with a dialog (a
version of the Install directory dialog) and a property JAVA_LOC. Here's the
definition:
<DirectoryRef Id="APPLICATIONFOLDER">
<Component Id="CMP_WriteJavaLoc"
Guid="93BE1E26-1927-44B5-95EF-B30242B357D0">
<RegistryValue Id="JavaLocRegistryValue" KeyPath="yes"
Action="write" Root="HKLM" Key="Software\Kaazing\HTML5\3.3" Name="JAVA_LOC"
Value="[JAVA_LOC]" Type="string" />
<Condition>
NOT (REMOVE~="ALL")
</Condition>
</Component>
</DirectoryRef>
When I initially tried this, the installer complained during installation
that there was no entry in the Directory table for JAVA_LOC (even though the
directory has no contents.) So I created an empty directory entry
<Directory Id="JAVA_LOC"></Directory>. Now the installer passes (no "extra"
directory is created, which is correct.) However, when I run the installer
again and choose Uninstall, everything is correctly uninstalled except the
registry entry. All files and other directories are gone, but the registry
key and value remain. When I just run the Uninstall from the 'Uninstall a
Program' control panel, it works fine--everything goes away. When I run a
shortcut I created with the target
Target="[System64Folder]msiexec.exe" Arguments="/x [ProductCode]"
everything uninstalls. Any help with this doesn't work? I've attached a
log file from the uninstall.
Thanks!
Dave
