[izpack-users] Windows XP Registry Entries cleaning up

[Daniel Silva]

Hi Klaus, thans for the reply.

the "registryEntries", native\COIOSHelper.dll  and the
com\izforge\izpack\event\RegistryUninstallerListener.class
are all there.
I really dont know if the key are persistent or not. How do I know that?

Even izPack entries are not erase when I uninstall it.
