Re: [WiX-users] RegistrySearch with empty registrykeys

The MSI Help for the RegLocator table states:
"Note that it is not possible to use the RegLocator table to check  
only for the presence of the key. However, you can search for the  
default value of a key and retrieve its value if it is not empty."

[WiX-users] RegistrySearch with empty registrykeys

[Nitin Chaudhari]

Hi,

 

I want to check if a Key exists, it may or may not have any values or
subkeys in it, so I tried the following

 



 

I am including the Name attribute since I don't want to check for anything..
I just want to confirm that the path SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Excel\
exists, how can I do that?

 

I tried Name="(Default)" it does not work

 

Thanks,

Nitin.
