> The WINE uninstaller.exe and appwiz.cpl both fail to remove the:
> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
> registry entry for the program being uninstalled.  Installers such as
> InstallShield will not reinstall a program if the registry entry is not
> removed.  This forces many uses to use regedit to delete the registry entry
> every time an application program needs to be uninstalled and installed again.
> Note that both programs curretly have the logic to remove the registry entry,
> but it is only done if the attempt to uninstall a program fails and the user
> requests the entry be removed.  This is not the way it works on a real Windows
> system.  The registry entry is removed upon successfull uninstall.
> Both programs contain the function UninstallProgram() which contain three lines
> of code that delete the registry entry of a program being unistalled.  This
> logic needs to be duplicated for a successfully removal.

This appears to resolved in wine-1.3.11-211-gbaeb0d9 so this bug can be
considered closed.
