Hello,
I want to make a minor upgrade which updates some files in Installshield Developer 7.03. I want to disable uninstall. The upgrade installation has to work with a number of installations made in Installshield Express. So I want two things:

1) How do I prevent the program ending up in the add-remove program panel?

2) I can occcur that I want to use the upgrade on two installations on the same machine so I also don't want it to be registered.

I tried with removing PublishProduct and RegisterProduct but that is apparently not enough.

Regards,
Martin Beugel

1) I don't think that this is possible, nor should it be.  The end user should always have ultimate control over their machine.  If it a company machine that needs restricting for the normal users then this should be done through user management.

2) Again, not possible as far as I know. The whole point of the installer service is that it is a managed service.  If you could do this then how could the WIS ensure that the installations are tidied up correctly.
