Thanks.

Yes.

What I see from the screen shot is that your entry looks quite different than my
GIMP installer (I am using GIMP Windows installer from
<http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html>, 32-bit only).

However the registry path on my machine points to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\WinGimp-2.0_is1
well, the Wow6432Node tree is because of Vista x64 registry mapping
So the 32-bit path should be
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\WinGimp-2.0_is1

Looking at the log below I am absolutely sure that WPKG finds a DisplayName
entry within the uninstall locations which carries the string "GIMP 2.6.5".

Probably try searching further.

I cannot see a problem here. WPKG clearly says that your registry contains an
entry with a DisplayName of "GIMP 2.6.5". Try looking for that string within
your whole registry.
