using productName instead of [ProductCode] in uninstall key
Hello
by default the installer sets the uninstall registry strings in
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\[ProductCode]]
Is there a way to have the installer use the productname instead of productcode?
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\[ProductName]]
if so, how do I set up my installshield basic msi project file to do that?
thanks
Yann
(Out of curiosity, is there a particular reason you want to change it? The subkey is an implementation detail that users shouldn't explore, and using a GUID instead of words does a better job of avoiding collisions between products, versions, and so forth...)
