During the installation of the STM32CubeProgrammer creates some registry keys under:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\STM32CubeProgrammer 2.16.0\One of them is "UninstallString" with the value:
cmd /c start /min cmd /c "C:\Program Files\STMicroelectronics\STM32Cube\STM32CubeProgrammer\Uninstaller\unscript.bat" & "C:\Users\elkadmin\AppData\Local\Temp\7zS852D4102\jre\bin\javaw.exe" -jar "C:\Program Files\STMicroelectronics\STM32Cube\STM32CubeProgrammer\Uninstaller\uninstaller.jar" -f -xIf I run this command on in a cmd.exe with the same elevated credentials as the installer was started I get the initial uninstall screen as expected
After clicking on the "Uninstall" button I get the unhandled exception message:
Here is a text version:

CloseI do not start anything that could cause the "Access is denied" situation in the registry.
I beleieve this behavior is related to https://community.st.com/t5/stm32cubeprogrammer-mcus/unable-to-uninstall-stm32cubeprogrammer-v2-16-windows-11-64-bit/td-p/670714
Interestingly, the uninstallation works without any problems if it is executed from the Windows Add/Remove Programs dialog.
Unfortunately, this does not help because the uninstallation is to be called by a dependent uninstaller.
