Hello,

how can I ensure that the installation of an MSI package is validated if it doesn't create an uninstallkey?

Currently, my package times out at the "waiting for uninstallkey" step because it's waiting for a key that the MSI doesn't create.

To provide more details, the file in question is the following MSI:

- File name: ISScript10.msi
- Program name: InstallShield X - Premier Edition 10.0.

Its installation does not create entries in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WOW6432NODE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall.

This MSI file is required for the installation of an older PDF editing program (ScanSoft PDF Converter 4).

Good morning

In this case, you may not need to use an uninstallkey:
