Patch and Uninstall
Posted: Wed Dec 05, 2007 4:00 am
I have created an install package verision 7.0.0.855
Now I have created a patch, version 7.0.0.863
When I run the patch, my application is updated correctly alghough when I have a look in the registry, it's a bit messed up.
A few DLL's have become a different GUID and after running the patch, both GUID's are in the registry.
After an uninstall via Add/Remove software, the DLL's that have a different GUID, different from the base install package are left on the system and need to be manully removed.
Is there a way to prevent this? Or conflicts changing GUID's of DLL with the definition of a patch (so I create a patch, that is not realy a patch).
Please help.
