[izpack-users] Windows XP Registry Entries cleaning up

[Daniel Silva]

Hi,

I´ve just started using izPack for my applications and I had some trouble
with Windows XP registry entries.

I have a InstallSpec.xml file for the installer creating procedure with the
following lines

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<installation version="1.0">
   (...)
   <native type="izpack" name="ShellLink.dll"/>
      <native type="3rdparty" name="COIOSHelper.dll" stage="both">
      <os family="windows"/>
   </native>
   (...)
   <resources>
      (...)
      <res src="./spec/RegistrySpec.xml" id="RegistrySpec.xml"/>
      (...)
   </resources>
   (...)
   <listeners>
      <listener installer="SummaryLoggerInstallerListener"/>
      <listener installer="RegistryInstallerListener"
                   uninstaller="RegistryUninstallerListener">
         <os family="windows"/>
      </listener>
   </listeners>
   (...)
</installation>

And a RegistrySpec.xml like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>

<registry>
 <pack name="UninstallStuff">
  <value name="DisplayName"
   keypath="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\$APP_NAME"
   root="HKLM"
   string="$APP_NAME"/>
  <value name="UninstallString"
   keypath="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\$APP_NAME"
   root="HKLM"
   string="&quot;$JAVA_HOME\bin\javaw.exe&quot; -jar
&quot;$INSTALL_PATH\Uninstaller\uninstaller.jar&quot;"/>
  <value name="DisplayIcon"
   keypath="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\$APP_NAME"
   root="HKLM"
   string="$INSTALL_PATH\icons\SCarimbo.ico"/>
  <value name="HelpLink"
   keypath="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\$APP_NAME"
   root="HKLM"
   string="$APP_URL"/>
      </pack>
</registry>
I'm using CheckedHelloPanel, so $APP_NAME is declared. My problem is that
when I uninstall the application, the registry entries are not erased. The
application is still listed as installed in Control Panel -> Add or Remove
Programs.

Am I doing something wrong?

Obs.: I've notice that when I uninstall izPack itself, its registry entries
are not erased either.
