That's interesting. I didn't think about doing it within NSIS.

But if I had, I still would have done it with VB6 because I consider
that to be a much easier route. Especially since KeepItCool had
already written the VB6 code.

Glad you got it working.

I've never used the NSIS installer although I've had it on my system for
years. A quick look in help suggests all can be done in the NSIS script
without the need for the separate VB6 app.

I have created a VB6 program using KeepItCool's posted code.
I call the VB6 program from my NSIS installer.
In my limited testing so far it works great!

Thanks for the great tip, Peter.
I've wanted to do this addin install/uninstall stuff for years, and
now I can :)

If I knew how to put a link to the specific post with the code, I
would.
