How to know when my program is uninstalled?

[smn]

in vb6, I use Package & Deloyment to install my program, then add some keys in system registry.
now I want to clear that key in registry when my program is uninstalled, where my code to be placed? Thank you!

Hmm, I'm not sure if they have this option in PDW (I'm not a fan of this setup maker), but a lot of other setup makers let developer to input registry strings, and when unistalled they get removed automatically, plus, some of these setup-makers are FREE, which are almost as good as leading InstallShield or WiseInstaller, and they make really small setup programs when InstallShield makes 60KB into 700KB!!!

But a VB program setup will always be big, since you need the runtime dll's which are more then 1 mb.. can be compressed, but will still be 1mb....

you can modify the source code for the setup program. It is in the VB installation directory.
If you do that, you will be able to add the registry keys within your setup program.
This will also allow you to remove those keys upon deinstallation.

in my German installation of VB 6 it is in:
C:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98\Wizards\PDWizard\Setup1
