c# - How to remove registry keys on uninstall msi using WIX -

-

i need remove registry keys when user uninstall application.

these registry keys in hkey_current_user\software.

i using wix tool.

please note keys not getting registered on install after login based on action performed user.

thanks in advance

windows installer can access registry hive of user it's running as. it's technically possible write custom action enumerate user profile list , load each ntuser.dat causes sorts of problem. short answer isn't practical. besides, microsoft standards state leave user data behind on uninstall.

if want it, best way know use custom action write registry during uninstall (something msi doesn't support). have registry value set activesetup command invoke reg.exe delete. when each user logs in next time key deleted.

c++ - Clear the memory after returning a vector in a function -

-
i have function processes , stores lot of data in , returns results vector of class. amount of data stored in function tremendous , want clear storage memory of function after finished job. necessary (does function automatically clear memory) or should clear memory function? update: vector<customers> process(char* const *filename, vector<int> id) { vector<customers> list_of_customers; (perform actions) return list_of_customers; } variables defined locally within function automatically released @ end of function scope. destructors objects called, should free memory allocated objects (if objects coded correctly). example of such object std::vector . anything you've allocated new must have corresponding delete release storage. try avoid doing own allocation , use raii instead, i.e. containers or smart pointers.

erlang - Saving a digraph to mnesia is hindered because of its side-effects -

-
updated the digraph library in erlang implements data type side-effectful. each operation on data type saves new state in ets table -- instead of returning altered version of itself, more common in functional languages. the problem usage perspective, impedes effort store or pass around state in convenient way requiring me first "collect" state before can start juggle around. the closest solution have seen far serializer/deserializer , these have drawback tied current structure of digraphs instead of operating on abstract type -- prevents future proof solution. update pascal pointed out serializer utilizes interface of digraph, , hence eliminates drawback mentioned above. better, albeit still inconvenient, see no better alternative. what recommendation on how store digraphs? should go different data type altogether? thanks. i not sure understand concern. fact digraph stored in ets transparent in user interface, might want chnge either exchange digr...
