Could not open key Problem

Hi,
i think i have made a mistake on the unistall process and now the installer can not uninstall. I did search and found the problem is about registry keys. It seems the registry key permissions are gone. When i reset them and used a "msicuu2.exe" Old MS CleanUp Tool, i was able to uninstall my package. But right after another installation same thing happened again, it is not possible to set registry key permissions everytime before i ran the package and i don't know why it is still happening.

For now i have changed the product code GUID to keep my development. But is there a real way to make a proper clean up if uninstall process fails?

BTW i don't have the original .aip that created to corrupt installation and prevented the uninstall.

Thanks.

Hello,
But is there a real way to make a proper clean up if uninstall process fails?
Here is an article to help you with this.
It seems the registry key permissions are gone.
Can you please send us the .AIP (project) and a verbose log of the installation to support at advancedinstaller dot com so we can investigate them?

All the best,
Mihai
