Uninstall doesn't unregister COM component

[fisheye]

Hello,

I have a .NET assembly on which I have selected "Register .Net assembly for COM Interoperability". It is installed and registered correctly however when I uninstall the product the component isn't unregistered.

If I manually regasm /u <path to DLL> followed by the uninstall its fine.

How to ensure the component is unregistered?

Hi,

I'm not sure why you are encountering this behavior. Can you please send us the .AIP (project) file you are using and a verbose log of the uninstall process to support at advancedinstaller dot com so we can investigate them?

Thanks for the quick response.

As it turns out it was my problem and the fact that I was accidentally using the ProductCode for the COM component's GUID

Hi,

I can see these keys left over after the uninstall.

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{E3D47ED7-E818-4C09-9AD8-0ED9E6A2137F}
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{E3D47ED7-E818-4C09-9AD8-0ED9E6A2137F}\Implemented Categories\{39AD2B5C-7A29-11D6-8E0A-0010B541CAA8}
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{E3D47ED7-E818-4C09-9AD8-0ED9E6A2137F}\Implemented Categories\{62C8FE65-4EBB-45E7-B440-6E39B2CDBF29}

If I manually execute regasm /u c:\path\to\a\copy\of\my\DLL then these are cleaned up.

So, it appears my original query still stands.

Thanks Cosmin for your prompt email.

To fix this I right clicked on each of the registry keys in question and selected properties. From there it was a matter of selecting "Delete (if present) at uninstall".

Cheers
