Cannot remove HKLM installer reg key in .MSI
Using AdminStudio 6 Standard, i packaged a plug-in called MathXL Player for wide distrubution over the network at my school (Sam Houston State). Sadly, it was a huge rush and we sent out a package that countained A LOT of extra reg keys and while the package works, I have had to repackage it to send it out again to fix a very annoying problem.
Do fix that problem, the new .msi will need to get rid of [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products\FEEDF9D66262CBE44A1BC43789A1B425] and then run the installer. I have manually deleted the key, and run the .msi. I have confirm that this is the right course of action. Then, inside the msi, I tried to set up the "RemoveRegistry_Component" to look on the destination computer and uninstall [FEEDF9D66262CBE44A1BC43789A1B425].
Obviously, it doesnt do it. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks

I really appreciate your trying tho. I ended up writing the fix into a .bat file (which my boss told me for two weeks I was not allowed to do) and it worked.
However, should anyone know what I should be doing in AdminStudio, please let me know. I still would like to put the really fix into the msi itself so that the issue will be more easily dealt with in the future.
