hi guys!
There is a problem with the IS registry set functionality in that if
you specify to write a value under an existing key, at uninstall time
not just the value will be removed, but the KEY AND ALL ITS SUBKEYS
will also be removed.
Any suggestion?
Thanks...

Call Disbale(LOGGING) before you create the key

or check for an existing key and use RegDBSetKeyValueEx(...); instead of using CreateRegistrySet("");
you could create a backup key/tree before writing your own values and put this back when uninstalling ... you can use a special dll with functions UninstInitialize() and UninstUnInitialize(), see http://www.installsi...f.htm#dlltester for testing this functionality.
