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.

Are you a developer who uses NSIS to distribute your application? Are you a Winamp plug-in developer who wants to use NSIS to distribute your plug-in? Have suggestions for other people like you? This is the place.
