[wix-users] Uninstall user settings

[John Cooper]

Is this a perUser or perMachine application?  Removal of the Components should remove the registry entries.  If it doesn't, something is wrong with the authoring.  Permissions issues can be an issue.  Also, on 64-bit OS's, the path to a 32-bit key might not be what you expect.

The e-mail below is from an external source.  Please do not open attachments or click links from an unknown or suspicious origin.

I have an application which creates registry entries under HKCU and my QA people are complaining that uninstalling the app doesn't remove the registry entries. Is there a (standard) way of  handling this or is it just a case of "that's how Windows (Installer) works, live with it"?

Thanks
