[wix-users] help with wix uninstall setting property to a registry entry for a customaction

[Shomari Sharpe]

Hi,
I figured out the problem it seems using the following code to set the
value of a custom action from the registry does not work:

<property Id="UNINSTALLCOMMAND">
   <uil:RegistrySearch
     root="HKLM"
     key="Software\ShomySoft\myprogram"
    value="programpath" />
</property>

<CustomAction
    Id="SQLiteUninstallODBC_EXE"
    Property="SQLiteUninstallODBC"
    Value="[UNINSTALLCOMMAND]"
    Execute="immediate" />

-------------------------------------------------
It seems "util:RegistrySearch" needs to be just "RegistrySearch" is this a
bug ??

Regards,

Shomari
