v9.1.2094 installer fails to register vim for uninstall #407

@tps800

Description

@tps800

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install v9.1.2094 after downloading from with options /D=C:\prgs\vim.
  2. search for C:\prgs\vim within the registry. You may find some entries within HKCR or HKCU\Software\Classes, but none for unistalling.
  3. Within the Windows menue under "Vim" there is a working uninstall.
  4. Windows does not list an uninstall item within "System configuration -> Apps".

Consequences:

  • since no registry-entry for installed gVim SCCM takes action to install gVim over and over again.
  • no standard way to uninstall gVim if necessary.
  • tools looking for updates dont find gVim to be installed (UniGetUI for example).
  • tools trying to create an inventory of systems miss gVim.

Expected behaviour

gVim install registering an uninstall item within registry, regardless installing for "All Users" or for "Current User" only.

Version of Vim

v9.1.2094

Environment

Windows Version: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17763.316]
Installer Version: v9.1.2094
