Disclosed is a method, system, and program for updating a registry object during the installation of a computer program on a computer system. The operating system includes an installation program that updates the registry object during installation of the computer program on the computer system. The registry object and installation program are operating system specific. During execution of the program, a call is made to a cross-platform installation program. The cross-platform installation program is capable of installing the computer program on different operating system platforms. The cross-platform installation program installs the installed components for the computer program on the computer system. The cross-platform installation program further makes a call to an operating system interface program specific to the operating system on which the computer program is being installed. Execution of this operating system interface program updates at least one field in the registry object with information on the installed components of the computer program being installed. Preferred embodiments further include a cross-platform uninstallation program, different from the operating system specific uninstallation program, that is capable of removing the computer program from different operating system platforms. The cross-platform uninstallation program calls an operating system interface program specific to the operating system on the computer system from which the computer program is being uninstalled. The operating system interface program removes information on the installed components removed from the computer system from the registry object.
