Microsoft C++ 6.0 uses HKEY_CURRENT_USER by default (if you use
WriteProfileString() etc) but InstallShield installs to and unistalls from
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. (using build 130).
The result is that uninstall doesn't delete registry entries that C++
creates. Only one EXE is being installed, no DLLs or anything.
I've tried RegDBSetDefaultRoot(HKEY_CURRENT_USER) but no effect.
Any ideas?

InstallShield only removes registry keys that it created during install. Any
registry keys created by the application after the install will not be
removed. You would have to create a custom uninstall DLL to do this.
