APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
Currently patches on windows exist as separate entries in Add/Remove Programs rather than under the Main installation like other updates do.
Local fix
Problem summary
On Windows when a patch is installed with the option HIDEUPDATE, e.g.: ssm40-fixpack6-win32-x86.exe HIDEUPDATE it creates extra fields in the registry to indicate that this installed product is an update. However it is not linked to the original installer so both the patch and the original installer appear as separate programs. These should be linked so that the patch is a child of the original installer.
Problem conclusion
Added logic to search through HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Install Shield_* for the original installer and then set the patches ParentKeyName to the key containing the original installer. Also the need for the HIDEOPTION flag has been removed. This is now the default behavior. The fix for this APAR is contained in the following maintenance packages: | fix pack | 4.0.0-TIV-SSM-FP0007
