Created Registry Entries Test Case

Quality Assurance module only.
The Created Registry Entries test in Test Expert, which is primarily informational, shows
registry entries that were created after installation. After uninstall tests are run, the test
case list is populated with created registry entries and all statuses are set to Pending.
Review the list and select the status for each test item.
Note
Uninstall tests do not appear if a group is open.
Because all uninstall tests are run at the same time, the test items for every test case in
the Uninstall Tests group are updated simultaneously.
This test compares the pre-installation snapshot to the post-uninstall snapshot and
reports the differences between the two snapshots. Registry entries accessed by other
applications can interfere with the test results. Before you run this test, close all
applications other than Wise Package Studio and Test Expert, including all background
applications and services that might access files or registry entries on the testing
computer.
It is common for applications to create registry entries, so those listed here do not
necessarily represent errors. If registry entries were created that should not have been
created, check custom actions in the package. To do this, open the package in Windows
Installer Editor and examine custom actions that appear in MSI Script. Sometimes
custom actions call processes during installation that result in created registry entries.
If the package creates registry values that should be removed on uninstall, you can set
the package to remove them, as long as the registry values have fixed names. To do
this, open the package in Windows Installer Editor. Add the registry value name to the
RemoveRegistry table on the Setup Editor > Tables tab.
