Hi,

Every registry value has an associated component. If you set the Permanent attribute for a component it will not be removed when the application is uninstalled.

Therefore, in the Organization page of Advanced Installer you have to set the Permanent attribute for the components associated to the registry values you do not want removed during an uninstall.

The purpose of the check box you were using is to remove all the values located under that registry key, even if those values were added after the install process (by your application, for example).
