Dear Scilab Authors,<br>
<br>
The installer removes the registry keys in <br>
<br>
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Scilab<br>
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Scilab<br>
<br>
for previous installed versions, which breaks compatibility of
applications that depend on those keys. Can this be fixed?<br>
<br>
While at the subject of registry entries, the value<br>
<br>
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Scilab\LASTINSTALL<br>
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Scilab\LASTINSTALL<br>
<br>
is written by an installation, and removed by an uninstallation,
leaving no convenient way for applications that want to use scilab
to find the latest installed version. For example, install 5.3.3,
install 5.4 beta, uninstall 5.4 beta and the LASTINSTALL key is not
present. Any suggestion on how to check for the scilab installation
with the highest version number, short of searching the file system?<br>
<br>
Many thanks, best wishes, <br>
<br>
Jasper.<br>
