Archive: Program Doesn't Show Up In "Currently Installed Programs"?


Program Doesn't Show Up In "Currently Installed Programs"?
I just created an installer for my application. After installing the program, it does NOT show up in "Currently Installed Programs" in "Add / Remove Programs". I can uninstall the application with the nsis uninstall icon though. I do write to the registry in the installer with ' InstallDirRegKey HKCU "Software\my application" "" ".

The application DOES show up in the registry when I do a search in regedit. What am I doing wrong?


You didn't write an uninstall key. See Add uninstall information to Add/Remove Programs and the examples in the Examples folder.


Thanks....I got it working. THANK YOU so much.
