>Description:
When I want to uninstall Apache, it doesn't clean the Registry, all Keys etc. stay. So when I install a new Apache to another place, it doesn't start as Service. I have to clean these Keys on my own with regedit. Will there be/is there a patch/newer version?
>How-To-Repeat:
Just install it as a Service and deinstall it.
>Fix:
Enhance the Installshield.
