Summary: Deinstallation of Windows Registry Keys?

Initial Comment:
Let's say my installed application creates additional 
registry keys, or the installer adds a windows registry key 
during the installation.
During de-installation I would like to remove them but it 
does not happen. It might be that I use the uninstall 
component in a wrong way...

Example:

Add windows registry key by installer:

root key = HKEY_CURRENT_USER
key = Software\bla
name = MyRegKey
...

Uninstall component:

component name = MyRegKey
component type = Windows Registry Key
registry value = 
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\bla\MyRegKey

(if registry value = HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\bla\ in 
the assumption the component name is used, the result is 
the same.)

Thus, I these registry keys are not removed, while the 
ones for the file type, filename extension and file 
command are removed during uninstall.
