removing registry

[mira]

I created Lab Windows application which adds registry. How can I remove this registry during un-installation of this application?

hi mira,

never tried it, but there's an option to execute an application (or script) after installing an app with the installer created with the app-builder. if you run the installer with the app already installed it un-installes the app. maybe the script is executed then also. like i said, never tried it...

pls let me know

best regards
chris

If you're referring to installing the application with the distribution kit, which also adds an entry to the registry, the registry should be cleaned automatically if you uninstall the application, without having to do any other scripting or extra coding. If you're referring to your application that actually has code to add a registry entry, then you can't really automatically clear that registry entry on uninstall. You could create some code to clear the registry in another utility application, and just be sure to run that in addition to the uninstall. Hope this helps!
