QtIFW - Maintenance Tool Generates Multiple Registry Entries

mgagnon-boreas · wrote on 26 Mar 2020, 18:53

Hi,

I have an installer that adds a registry entry in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall, and as a unique randomly-generated name. The problem is that sometimes, when I generate a new installer or if I wait some time, the registry entry is not updated nor deleted and a new one is generated. This is an issue because this results in my "Add or Remove Program" window to be full of older version of the software that I can't remove.

I did see that when the new generation occurs, this line is added in the log :
[10109] Warning: Found binary data file "C:\Program Files (x86)/Boreas Dev-Kit Controller/maintenancetool.dat" but deliberately not used. Running as installer requires to read the resources from the application binary.

I wasn't able to attach the log file so here it is:
