Hi All,
To add to the below issue, i understand that i could use a property that
includes the registry search. But issue here is that the application
"StandaloneSimulator.exe" is not something that has been installed on my
machine(i cannot find it under control panel). The
D:\Project\ESI\PFW\trunk\StandaloneSimulator\bin exists as it has been
checked out from SVN.Please let me know in case there are any workarounds.

Hi All,
I am creating an wix installer. I want to create a registry entry whose
path is not under the directory structure created in the WIX file. Below
is what i intend to do:
<Directory Id='TARGETDIR' Name='SourceDir'>
<Directory Id='Scheduler' Name="Scheduler">
<Directory Id='PLTLPLOGAMERA' Name="Pipeline Scheduler Gamera">
<Component Id="x86RegEntGameraSimulatorPath"
Guid="{C769AC98-A3D0-4CB4-939F-F396B49D4E5F}" Win64="no">
<RegistryValue Id="x86GameraSimulatorPathRegValue"
Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\[Manufacturer]"
Name="$(var.standalonesimulatorRegName)"
*Value="D:\Project\ESI\PFW\trunk\StandaloneSimulator\bin" *Type="string" />
</Component>
<Component Id="x64RegEntGameraSimulatorPath"
Guid="{0ED0A7FC-DCB1-4C36-A39B-56F9F97A3A2C}" Win64="yes">
<RegistryValue Id="x64GameraSimulatorPathRegValue"
Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\[Manufacturer]"
Name="$(var.standalonesimulatorRegName)"
Value="*D:\Project\ESI\PFW\trunk\StandaloneSimulator\bin*" Type="string" />
</Component>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
The *Value *in the above keys is the path where an application
"standalonesimulator.exe" is installed.Please suggest if there is anyway
that i do not have to hardcode this path. I know i can use an include
file and fetch this path, but again that path will be harcoded in the
include file anyways.
Regards,
SuvraJyoti
