Re: [WiX-users] CA - getting value from registry
i've done that, but what i need is the installer to get the registry value of the machine it is installing on. this gets the registry value of the machine it is built on.

Re: [WiX-users] save username and password
Thanks for you answer, but just one other question, is there a way to just store the username? You see, customers keep losing their username and so once they have unistalled the software the next time they want to install it they can't remeber their username.I wanted to know if there's a way to save the username they enter somwhere and the next time they want to install the software it automatically restores the username in the username box. thanks.

Hi Salome,
you can store the username in the registry (but only the username) in a key
that is not by default deleted on uninstall.
