[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]
The RemoveRegistryValues action removes an application's registry information from the registry. A registry value is deleted from the registry if the corresponding component has been set to be installed locally or to run from source.
| RemoveRegistry.Root | Root key under which the registry value is written. |
| RemoveRegistry.Key | Key under the root. |
| RemoveRegistry.Name | Name of the value. |
| Component.Action | Action field from the Component table for the component record corresponding to Registry.Component_. Must be either: iisLocal = 1: Item is to be installed locally (item is currently uninstalled or installed from run from source). iisSource = 2: Item is to be installed from run from source (item is currently uninstalled or installed locally). |
The RemoveRegistryValues action also removes the registry information that the application writes to the registry with the WriteRegistryValues action. A registry value is deleted from the registry if the corresponding component has been set to be uninstalled.
| Registry.Root | Root key under which the registry value is written. |
| Registry.Key | Key under the root. |
| Registry.Value | The registry value to be removed. If the WriteRegistryValues action had attached REG_MULTI_SZ strings to the value in the Registry table, then the RemoveRegistryValues action removes only those strings from the registry value. |
| Registry.Name | Name of the value. |
| Component.Action | Action field from the Component table for the component record corresponding to Registry.Component_. Must be: iisAbsent = 0: item is not installed. |
None
The InstallValidate action must be called before calling RemoveRegistryValues. If a WriteRegistryValues action is used, it must appear after RemoveRegistryValues.
