I tested installing my app in my PC, and uninstalling it. All the entries in
registry are gone.... there is no track, inclusive I created the GUID and
checked the entry when installed the software, this entry is deleted too..

I going to try next option...

I forgott. The EasySetup will delete its registry entries, if you use the option 'Delete all files ...', but you can disable this function ('Special Tasks').
The best way, I think, is to use a small program to set the registry entries and shows a requester ("Input serialnumber or use Demo"). That should be easy with PureBasic. You can start this program after installation and it will automatically deleted with all the temporary files, if all is done.

first a suggestion: when 'Delete All files..' is disabled the user at unistall
process see that option, only it can check it... this gives the user some
feeling that garbage is left in her/his system....
I think is better to hide this option and
other options that give a sense of "keeping garbage" in their PCs.... imho.

Back to what Im doing...

I did it and not... it does not work in that way... at least here....

I disabled 'Delete all files...' and it does not matter the uninstall process
delete all files in directory plus all entries in registry......

Use the program I will add in the next version:

DemoVersion.exe

Code: Select all

;/ EasySetup - Thorsten Hoeppner (PB 4.00)
;/ ( RegINI User Library by Paul Leischow )

IniFile.s = StringField(GetFilePart(ProgramFilename()),1,".")+".ini" ; Name of the preference file

ProgDir$ = GetPathPart(ProgramFilename()) ; Program directory
If ProgDir$ = #PB_Compiler_Home+"Compilers\" : ProgDir$ = GetCurrentDirectory() : EndIf

OpenPreferences(ProgDir$+IniFile) ;{ Load INI-file
  GUID$ = ReadPreferenceString("GUID", "")
  days.l = ReadPreferenceLong("Days", 30)
ClosePreferences() ;}

Procedure.b SetDemoKey(GUID$, days.l)
  If Not GUID$ : ProcedureReturn #False : EndIf
  Protected SubKey.s, EndDate.l
  EndDate = AddDate(Date(), #PB_Date_Day, days)
  SubKey = "SOFTWARE\Demo\"+GUID$
  SetRegKey(#HKEY_CURRENT_USER, SubKey, "EndDate", Str(EndDate))
  ProcedureReturn #True
EndProcedure

Procedure.b GetDemoKey(GUID$)
  Protected SubKey.s, EndDate.l
  SubKey = "SOFTWARE\Demo\"+GUID$
  EndDate = Val(GetRegKey(#HKEY_CURRENT_USER, SubKey, "EndDate"))
  ProcedureReturn EndDate
EndProcedure

EndDate.l = GetDemoKey(GUID$)
If Not EndDate
  SetDemoKey(GUID$, days)
EndIf

DemoVersion.ini

Code: Select all

Hi,

I have a little problem uninstalling EasySetUp (to reinstall the new releases

)

I receive the message: 'Could not find uninstall.dat' this is the second
or third time it happens......

Posted: **Sun Nov 12, 2006 3:26 pm**

It's not necessary to uninstall EasySetup before updating.

- What contains the folder with uninstall.exe (uninstall.dat?)
- Have you moved the folder after installation?
- What happens, if you start uninstalle.exe direct in the folder?

Is there any chance that you can allow a .txt file to be part of the Program Directory entries in addition to help etc.

And could it also be allowed in User Defined Tasks/Additional Links - this is where I have put them, but by just typing the name of the file, I do not get the .txt icon

Cheers
