uninstall registry entries

[Dániel Tóth]

Hi,

is it possible to put the uninstall registry entries to HKLM, instead of HKEY_CURRENT_USER? Thanks for the answer!

Regards,

Daniel

This is the default; Inno will only place uninstall entry to HKCU if you changed PrivilegesRequired.

Thank you for the answer! Is it possible to let the user run the installer without admin privileges, but still be able to install keys in HKLM?

Thanks!

No, that would be a security violation. HKLM in Registry and Program Files and Windows on the system drive are locations that can only be written to by elevated user accounts.

Understand. What if I want admin users to have the capability to install keys in HKLM, but for the non-admin users just install to HKCU?

According to this:

I have to decide between full-admin and absolutely no admin.

Follow the link at the bottom of that help topic and also see the Example3.iss example script.
