    hello,

    it is my understanding that the uninstall registry key name allows the application install process to detect if an application already exists by way of this registry key, if it does exist then it skips it. i am trying to utlise this key but there doesnt seem to be much information on how to use it. in my office 2010 application in MDT i added "MicrosoftOffice2010ProPlus" as my registry key name, but when installing office 2010 it doesnt seem to add this to the registry. so then i ad it manually myself but even if i do this and re run my task sequence the installation still tries to go ahead and install office 2010, it just seems to get stuck though.

    can anyone provide some insight into how i could utilise this? what i want to achive is not reinstall an app that already exists.

    Steve
