    I have successfully made a distribution disk through PDW and the installation is fine. But after uninstalling the program through ControlPanel's "Remove/Add Programs", I found the registry info not touched. Any way to clean up registry info for uninstallation? thx.

    You could manually unregister, let's say, dll's using regsvr32 at a command prompt or in the run dialog box:

    regsvr32.exe /u somedll.dll

    the /u parameter is for unregistering

    This is a distribution disk, supposed that anyone should be able to uninstall it, including cleaning registry tree. Can PDW do the job? or I just didn't do right?

    the PDW will only remove SOME registry information that it added initially, nothing that your program creates is erased
