Hi Sachin

The installation package created with IS Dev (InstallScript MSI Project) creates the registry key. The GUID you see there is the Product Code. You can goto Description->General Information->Project Properties->Enable Maintanence to set the value to yes or no.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\InstallShield Uninstall Information\{4E5FA0AB-600B-412D-BEF2-ED5167DAFC0C}

DoMaintanence=N
