Can not find Registry-Uninstall entry of Adobe Flash

[Adminazubi]

Hello,

i need a little Help, cause i couldnt find a solution for my problem in the Internet or through the searchfunction.

I've copied from here these scripts to install Adobe Flash Player and adjusted them to the actual version (11.9.900.152). The installation runs well in contrast to the uninstallation which runs not, because i couldnt adjust the "Registry-Key" in the SubUninstall.ins which can be found in "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ ... ". Unfortunately the Registry-entry is not traceable on the client, because its invisible or something like that. So i cant adjust the Subuninstall.ins.

How can i find the Registry-Uninstall-Key. I had the same problem with Adobe (no Registry entry under "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ ... ", but i could find the key with a little trick which not works with Flash-Player)

This is the one I can find:

Code: Alles auswählen

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{91A605E2-0372-4198-B64D-FA4D7E9FC851}

Perhaps you are dealing with a 64-bit OS?

BTW, I do not think you have to post this in the Deutsch and English parts of the forum, do you?

You might want to use InstEd, http://www.instedit.com/download.html the install/uninstall GUID will probably be in the msi somewhere.

thx, for your help.

Why is it under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\..." ? And how could you find it?

I need to adjust these Scripts for both, OS 32 and 64. So would be really nice if you can explain me how to find them.

Uninstall strings on a 64 bit Windows:
32 bit software: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
64 bit software: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

Uninstall strings on a 32 bit Windows:
32 bit software: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
64 bit software: -

Why not use Flash Player uninstaller:
http://download.macromedia.com/get/flas ... player.exe

from:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/ ... ndows.html

I include it in my flash player's opsi package (uninstall_flash_player.exe is usually updated when new version of player is released..) and use without any problems..
