Hi,
an important customer somehow managed to have a system where the software does not appear in the list of installed programs in the control panel, but the setup wants to uninstall a previous version which it cannot find the resources for.
I need to know where exactly the "Get Installed State for" looks in the registry. How does it determine that there is a version xy installed?
regards
Anja

Re: "Get Installed State for"
Hi Anja,
search the registry for the product ID of the setup and delete all of its entries.
The most important one seems to be
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\MimarSinan\InstallAware\Ident.Cache\<productID>
Preferably, if your customer still has available the setup of the previously installed version, he can just run it again,
then uninstall it and then start the setup of the new version.
