Re: Detect Previous Version If the Uninstall entry does not exist then you have installed all programs with Admin rights ;-) BTW, it is your responsibility to update the version number. And to have full control, you can use your own registry key! You can add a version number, last update date, etc., etc. Use the Edit Registry and Get Registry Key Value functions. Does this help?
Re: Detect Previous Version
Re: Detect Previous Version Found one under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uni nstall , but not any under CU. Now the next question, the main application inserts a uninstall here, and I see it has the correct version. But after running wupdate and updating my version, this registry value still contain the old value.
Re: Detect Previous Version I can't seem to find these Uninstall sections in the registry. What is the exact path?
Re: Detect Previous Version I would suggest to use the UNINSTALL method. BTW, please check both HKLM and HKCU!
Re: Detect Previous Version You check this version in the WebUpdate program, and I went to see its source (quite cool, btw, that this is written IN SetupBuilder . There I see you fetch the current version from HKLM\Software\Lindersoft\WebUpdate\Apps\GUID. Which method do you recommend, the UNINSTALL or the WebUpdate way?
Re: Detect Previous Version What you can do is to read this information from the Registry. It's stored under \Uninstall\{YourGUID} - read the DisplayVersion value. Does this help?
Detect Previous Version I want to detect the current installed version of my product. The command Detect Previous Version only returns the path of the product. I'm interested in [PRODUCTVER] defined in my previous installation. Is this possible to find anywhere?
