Uso questa utility molto spesso e penso che possa essere utile a tutti. Può essere usata in sostituzione della funzione aggiungi/rimuovi programmi e fornisce alcune interessanti informazioni aggiuntive. Una caratteristica molto utile è la stringa di disintallazione di una'applicazione. Per questa operazione, click con il tasto di destra selezionando un'applicazione, visualizzare le proprietà e copiare la stringa completa.

Sometimes in packages ICE03 is encountered, which states that a particular entry is not according to a correct format. Here's some info to help you avoid this this chilly error.

ICE03 occurs mainly because of ESCAPE Characters like [,],{,} and so on.

Windows Installer does not automatically recognize these formats. Hence, they need to be written according to a special construct.

The main rule that should be followed is that:

The text [\[]Bracket Text[\]] resolves to [Bracket Text].

Some examples are:
1) [ should be written as [\[]
2) ] should be written as [\]]
3) { should be written as [\{]
4) } should be written as...

Sometimes it's nice to have someone in-the-know walk you through a complex task or procedure. Here's a dandy (and brief) Flash demo that walks you through the steps it takes to set up Launch Conditions when packaging an application using Wise Package Studio.

The Active Setup key in the registry allows you to specify a command that should run the first time a new user logs on. You can do some pretty cool things once you know how to leverage this key. Read on to get started.

Problem:

Using Active Setup

An application needs to launch a repair when a new user logs on to insert per-user information in to the user profile. Examples of per-user information might be a registry key under HKCU or a file in the user profile under the My Documents folder.

In order to activate a repair a valid application entry point must be launched (advertised shortcut, extension, COM information).

What if an application doesn't have an entry point? What about a plug-in for Excel with no shortcut? Oh dear.
