[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #58320] [mxe-octave] Add ability to specify a local or allusers install from the installer

[John Donoghue]

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #58320 (project octave):

Ok - something not quite right then
How did you run the uninstall - from the uninstall exe, or from the windows 
add/remove programs ?

What it 'should' do when running the installer, is find the matching  registry
uninstall information in the registry

(in the uninstall code un.FindThisUninstallReg)

Looking first in hkey current user, 
Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Uninstall\\Octave-$VERSION

get the "uninstalllocaltion" key and compare it to see if matches the location
of uninstaller

If if doesn't find it there, it does the same thing for hkeylocal machine

and then if didn't find it in either on return from that function displays the
dialog box you saw.

Whats the registry settings for the local install ?

I'm also assuming you tried to uninstall the local install using the same user
as had installed it ?
