Change/Remove in add/remove programs

V

Viviana Vc

Hi all,

I can disable the Remove button from add/remove programs via the
ARPNOREMOVE property. After doing so I notice that the Remove button is
disabled and only the Change is enabled. But some other applicatin have
only one button named Change/Remove which is enabled. How could I also
get this? (only one button saying Change/Remove) Or this is something
not doable with MSI type of installers?

Thank you,
Viv

MSI installed apps ususally have two separate buttons in ARP while non-MSI
apps have one combined button. You could set ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT to
completely prevent your msi from creating the ARP entry, and then create the
uninstall registry entries in the old way using the Registry table.
