Mangled Windows installation when installing as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM #353

Open shea-parkes opened 9 years ago

shea-parkes commented 9 years ago

This is related to #100, but more severe I believe. When installing as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM, the Uninstall entries are not created in such a way that they can be viewed by a normal user. This is causing package management solutions (such as SaltStack's WinRepos) to not recognize that the installation has been completed.

Even when using the \InstallationType=AllUsers installation option, Uninstaller registry entries are not places in either of the generic locations:

When doing an interactive install as a regular user with admin privileges, proper registry entries are made in the above locations.

Issue #100 contains all the steps necessary to recreate this issue as well.

my specfic issues when deployed through sccm issue one: Launcher shortcut is crashing on start up issue two: uninstall exe is not apoearing in the anaconda3 directory. Therefore cannot remove it through sccm

We just used Salt to slam the registry entries into their correct locations. It is very brute force and very distasteful.
