Hi, Your old install-shield projects were probably not MSI projects then. You can't modify this behaviour only suppress it (set ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT=1) and write your own key. or you could write an extra key for your in-house tool. Or you can modify your in house tool to use the MSI SDK to list the installed MSIs I think you will want msiEnumProducts. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa370101(v=vs.85).asp x

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Changing registry key name for uninstall Hi, I also would like to change the registry key under uninstall from the ProductID to the ProductName. We have a company wide tool to check for installed applications and it would be much easier to maintain when using the product name instead of the productcode. When I wrote msi setups for my old company we used InstallShield and here I got my installers registered over the product name. So I don't see a problem from msi side.
