Install Shield 2009 Premier : Don't want to put the entry to control panel

Question

My installation would 1. copy some files 2. some registry entries that require admin privilege e.g. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\MyRegistry

What I want: 1. No entry to the control panel and yes i don't need an uninstallation.

Question may arise, why I don't do it manually? Only for the admin privileged registry entries[Is there any way to do it without install shield ?]

Answer 1

Take a look at this MSI property. All you need to do is to set it to 1.

Answer 2

Refer to this MSDN article. What you need to do is:

You can omit registering an application by removing the RegisterProduct Action, RegisterUser Action, PublishProduct Action, and PublishFeatures Action from the InstallExecuteSequence Table and AdvtExecuteSequence Table. All of these actions must be removed, or some trace of the application may remain in the registry. Removing all of these actions prevents the application from being listed in the Add or Remove Programs feature in Control Panel, and prevents the advertisement of the application. Removing all of these actions also prevents the application from being registered with the Windows Installer configuration data. This means that you cannot remove, repair, or reinstall the application by using the Windows Installer Command-Line Options, or the Windows Installer application programming interface (API).
