Leif's coding hazards

InstallShield, add/remove properties

I tried to find where details of where Windows Installer store the Support Info shown in Add/remove programs. (Here is what Expresso shows.)

After some searching I found that it is stored in several places, but RegMon did show me the truth. SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\InstallShield_{4E6FC601-093D-4DDF-ACC8-63C27F9FDB7D}
(Where, ofcourse, the product code varies with the product.)

When I did a "dirty" upgrade of a product I simply changed DisplayVersion to "6.5.0200" and Version to DWORD:0x06050200 and everything looked peechy.
