problem in deleting regestries
I have created an nested MSI for (Cisco VPN and Zone Alarm).
The problem is when i install the software it is installed, when i am uninstalling it is not removing all the files in the Regestries(HKLM --> System--> Currentcontrolset-->Services--> vsdatant).
So when i am installing the application again it is showing an error as 1406.
So please help me in this issue.

As part of the install, does the package start the service 'vsdatant'? If so, does the uninstall stop the service before any uninstall activity takes place? Check the ServiceControl and ServiceInstall tables.

I would recommend not to nest them but install them one by one in preferred order.

Thanks for ur response.
The thing is we want to mingle those two applications in to one MSI. So for that we have done the Nested MSI.
Other than Nested MSI do u know any other process how to mingle those two applications.
We are new to this packaging world.

If we install the application the service is running.
If we uninstall the application the service is stopping and it is not deleting from the Registry.
We have tried with so many scripts also,but there is no use with that scripts.
We can delete other Registries with that scripts execept these Services.

Basically packages having services should have all the requried information to create, start or stop the service.
Its a best way to avoid these kind of issues.
1. The required file should be copied.
2. All the required registry information are available in you MSI.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\<Service Name>
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_<Service Name>
4. Entries in service control table to control the service.
In actual scenario what happens is we use to create the service from our MSI and we have service control table entries to control it. Cleaning of registry entries is a part of operating system which might fails. Also registries are not a part of your msi, hence it will not take care of deleting it at uninstall. So, capture the regitry and import them to your package.
In some cases service need restart even though you have everything correctly implemented.
