Hi
In the Add/Remove's "Click here for support information" the dialog that shows displays the product version (IFX_PRODUCT_VERSION ).
I wish it to display the "Display Product Version" (IFX_PRODUCT_DISPLAY_VERSION ).
Is there anyway to change that please?

Under the OnFirstUIAfter() event/function, you'll need to overwrite the default uninstall entry by doing something along the lines of the following:
| CODE |
| // OVERWRITE DEFAULT UNINSTALL ENTRY RegDBSetDefaultRoot(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE); szARPKey = "Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Uninstall\\"+PRODUCT_GUID; szARPVersion = IFX_PRODUCT_DISPLAY_VERSION; nResult = RegDBDeleteKey("Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\App Management\\ARPCache\\"+PRODUCT_GUID); // FORCE A REFRESH OF ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS nvType = REGDB_STRING; nResult = RegDBSetKeyValueEx(szARPKey, "DisplayVersion", nvType, szARPVersion, -1); |

Thanks, That did the trick.
BTW, is there any implication to that action? I mean who else uses the DisplayVersion in the uninstall section?

Well actually I found out that after an update the DisplayVersion returns to the old value.
So maybe it would be better to set the DisplayVersion in the OnEnd Event?

You're welcome kroiz and that change is isolated to such uninstall support, so there would be no additional implications.
OnEnd() would not be the appropriate location to handle an update though as that's still called when an installation is cancelled. Instead I would recommend adding the same code, or a custom function call equivalent, to the OnMaintUIAfter() event.
