No Entry in Add/Remove Programs

Postby ckuske » Tue Jun 06, 2006 9:31 am

Hello,

I know this sounds odd, but I need to create an installer that will install some files on the machine, or uninstall, depending on a switch I give the installer.

I know that part is easy.. however, the installer should not put an entry into the Add/Remove programs applet in Windows. Is there any way to have InstallAware not insert those entries?

Its all in the registry.
Depending on All Users or Just Me install, look under HKLM or HKCU.
SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\$TITLE$.

You can delete this key - after Apply Install.

That was going to be my "fallback" way of doing it. Works for me, I was just looking for a cleaner way.

Thanks!
