Hi all,
I have a project with 4 packages. Some dlls of the project are dedicated to just one project, many of them are not. Some programs of a package use the same dll. So: each dll can be used 0-n times in a package.

After installation, the values in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\microsoft\windows\Curr entVersion\SharedDLLs all give 1 for all the shared DLLs.

After using the SW, some values become > 1, which makes it impossible to uninstall.

Question: who changes these values?

Was this test done on a clean machine? If not, is it possible that you are trying this on a development machine and have installed more times than you have uninstalled? The usage counter should not be updated unless an installer has been run.
