Hi Bevan,
As suggested I did the following:
* Replaced all the manually generated GUID's with "*" except the
component preferences file as light was giving error for the same
saying it is not allowed because the component is not nested under a
directory.
* Regarding the registry entries, it is as per the requirement.
* I have performed the installation on a different machine, i have
tried installing to a different path altogether as well. For
instance i have tried doing the installation to C:\Energy Solutions
International\PipelineOptimizer 6.0.0 and also to C:\Energy
Solutions International\PipelineOptimizer 6.0.0 Test as is my
requirement.
Below are the observations:
* All the folders data,db,gui,engine,security still are not removed.
As per my requirement only the data folder should have stayed as i
had set the permanent attributes for the component to "yes" using
XSLT transform while harvesting.
* All the registry entries got deleted, the registry entry for the
data directory should have stayed.
* Also commented out the registry entries then tried to see if there
is any change, but still the same results
* Also getting the same message in the log file: Disallowing
uninstallation of component.
Has it something to do with the remembering of the installation folder
as suggested by Phil Hogland?
Regards,
Suvra Jyoti
