Refreshing add/remove programs after uninstalling stuff
When InstallShield uninstalls something, the program name disappears from the list in Add/Remove programs after the program is uninstalled.

However, with NSIS, the program is removed from the computer, but the program name still stays in the Add/Remove programs. However, if you close add/remove programs, the program name is gone.

Add/Remove programs works by reading the \\HTKL\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\*\DisplayName values. Somehow InstallShield is able to refresh the Add/Remove programs while NullSoft does not do this.

Does anyone know how to make it so that the Add/Remove programs is refreshed?

Thanks.

Jeff
