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

[Stephens, Rich]

Well, first off you spelled it "uil", not util... that might cause a problem.  That prefix has to match whatever you called the namespace that includes the util xsd at the top of your file.

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
