[izpack-users] IzPack 3.11.0-beta2

[Bartz, Klaus]

Hi All,
our products needs all admin rights. Therefore different places for the
uninstall keys are only primed.
uninstall keys will be written automatically if the
RegistryInstallerListener was activated.
For default the uninstall keys are written under
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

It is possible to overwrite the default bahavior. This will be done with
the
"virtual" pack "UninstallStuff" in RegistrySpec.xml. For more info see
docu and the example in the IzPack installation self.
If the pack will be empty, no entry and no error should be
performed/raised (I hope so, not tested...).
If the entries  got the root "HKCU" it should work if the user have the
right to write into his own registry area (also not tested).
If the entries got a variable as root (like $REG_ROOT) and this variable
is a valid variable at performing the registry listener (afterPacks),
the entries will be written under the root given by $REG_ROOT.
The only thing missing for this is the InstallTypePanel.

Hope it helps

Klaus
