Add/Remove - How to disable the change button

Hi,

my first days / experience with Installaware Studio.
In Installshield i had the possibility to disable the change button of a package inside the add/remove panel.

How can i disable the change button inside installaware ? i only want the remove button to be shown there...

or must i use a workaround to manually add the NoModify / NoRepair Keys with Value 1 to the GUID inside Uninstall-Regkey...

Best Regards
Emu

Add/Remove - How to disable the change button

hello

I found this works.

Delete Registry VALUE HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Uninstall\\(your application title)\\modifypath

All of the above should be on a single line.

Replace (your application title) with the text used in $TITLE$

Put this line after Apply Install

regards

if you delet value "modifypath", you get one button witn name "change/remove"

I recommend other way.

Write Registry SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Uninstall\\$TITLE$\\NoModify 1

where $TITLE$ name your project
You will get pure button "Remove"

@LIV, that works :-)

LIV,

thanks, this workaround works fine.

But in my opinion inside installaware itself an option should be there like it is inside installshield e.g. to hide change and or remove button.

Best regards
