           Summary: WINE msi does not uninstall files correctly and does
                    not update registry
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.7
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: msi
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: support at securenetterm.com


When the wine unisntall is selected to remove a program, it starts the program
msi uninstaller, which runs and indicates the program was uninstalled. 
However, the wine uninstaller still shows the program as being installed, the
registry entry for the program unistalled is still in:

/hkey/local_machine/software/microsoft/windows/currentversion/uninstall

which prevents the program from being installed again and the programs install
directory and its contents have not been removed as they should have been.

Its as if all the WINE msi unistall functions are placeholders.

I would recommend a real live Windows application which has an Installshield
installed be obtained to see what actions should happen on install, uninstall
and install again.  Compare what happens on a real Windows systems and what
happens on WINE.
