Hello,

To achieve what you want you can simply make sue of our Registry Key Removal support.

Just open your project into Advanced Installer and go to "Registry" page. Then create "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/JavaSoft/Prefs" registry key and right click on it -> "Properties". Go to "Operations" tab and configure the removal operation on a component uninstall using the REMOVE="ALL" condition.

Let us know if you have any further questions.

All the best,
Daniel

This may happen if you need to delete the related key on a 64-bit machine. Just go to "Registry" page, select the related key and from its context menu choose "Go To Component" option. In "Organization" page just check the "64-bit Component" option and rebuild and test again your setup package.

If the '64-bit Component" option is not checked the key path will be resolved like this on a 64-bit OS:

Code: Select all

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Wow6432Node\JavaSoft\Prefs

Have a look on our "Wow6432Node" article for more details.

If this is still of no help, then please forward us by email to support at advancedinstaller dot com your AIP (project file) so we can further investigate and test its settings.

All the best,
Daniel
