Question

I am using wix to create installer. I am using below code in Product.

<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi">
<Product Id="{98356803-6759-78F5-458F-378295D23DAF}" Name="Test Install" UpgradeCode="{345D4770-545D-4A53-BA07-EF52401F0CB4}" Language="1033" Version="1.1.1.1" Manufacturer="Installer. Inc">
    <Package Description="Sample Installer" Comments="Test Install" Manufacturer="Installer. Inc" InstallerVersion="200" Compressed="yes" />

I am using below properties.

    <Property Id="ARPNOMODIFY" Value="1" />
    <Property Id="ARPNOREPAIR" Value="1" />
    <Property Id="ARPNOREMOVE" Value="1" />
    <Property Id="ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT" Value="1" />

But My installer entry is not availble in Programs and Features (Windows 7). Is there anything I missed? Please let me know any other details you need. Please help me to solve this issue.

Answer 1

It’s not there because you set the ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT property to 1.

Per MSDN setting this property:

Setting the ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT property to 1 using the command line or
a transform prevents the application from being displayed in the Add
or Remove Programs list of Control Panel.
