Hi,
I need to write a removal script for a product that was created with Installshield MSI. this script is lauched as part of a removal tool in case the Uninstall fails.
the problem is that even if i delete the "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{my GUID}" key, I still have an entry of the program in the ARP. it looks like some leftover since I can't really remove the product by using it (does not actually have the remove button) is there anything else that needs to be deleted in order for the entry to be removed?

thanks,
Dana

Delete the appropriate entry under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\<GUID>.

This will remove the ARP entry of your product.

Note: The above mentioned 'GUID' is not the product GUID.

Hope this helps.
