I've a question about the button you see within the Add/Remove control panel when you select an installed product.

When our product is installed, we have a button with the text "Change/Remove".  Some products have two separate buttons(Change AND Remove) and some other products have only the Remove-button.

Is it possible that you define which button(s) are showed and which text needs to become on the buttons???

Is this a certain registry entry???

Thanks in advance for your help.

Christoph.

i believe that these buttons are controlled by the ARPNOREMOVE and ARPNOREPAIR properties...

i would suspect that the msi that has only the remove button will have the entry ARPNOREPAIR in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UnInstall\...
entry for the MSI

I added the regentry "NoModify" with as value '1'. As a result I see only the remove-button within the control panel so it seems to work. I tried this on WinXP. When I try this solution on Win2K, nothing changes.

Has anyone encounter the same problem???

Thanks

To fully support this you may have to use Windows Installer (MSI) technology instead of a legacy tool like Professional 5 (you could upgrade to InstallShield Developer 8)
