Add/Remove Programs applet shows wrong button text for uninstall
NoRepair 1
NoModify 1

The help indicates that when these options are set the uninstall button will have the text "Remove" versus "Remove/Modify". This doesn't work for me. Even though I have the values set at 1 I still get the "Remove/Repair" text. Why?

Make sure you are using WriteRegDWORD.

Thanks Stu, I am:

WriteRegDWORD HKLM "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\MyApp" "NoModify" "1"
WriteRegDWORD HKLM "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\MyApp" "NoRepair" "1"

Any other ideas?
