Does it help if you pass Value='1' instead of Value='#0x0001(1)'?

Re: [WiX-users] Problem writing registry values
It seems that MSI cannot write REG_DWORD type values to registry..Wht is the workaround for this? Anidil, The documentation for the registry table in MSI says: This column is the localizable registry value. The field is Formatted. If the value is attached to one of the following prefixes (i.e. #%value) then the value is interpreted as described in the table. Note that each prefix begins with a number sign (#). If the value begins with two or more consecutive number signs (#), the first # is ignored and value is interpreted and stored as a string. #x The value is interpreted and stored as a hexadecimal value (REG_BINARY). #% The value is interpreted and stored as an expandable string (REG_EXPAND_SZ). # The value is interpreted and stored as an integer (REG_DWORD). So just put a '#' on the front of your number: Value='#1' Regards, John - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.

Re: [WiX-users] Problem writing registry values
I have tried prefexing # for all the DWORD types but after running the MSI i see that the registry is getting updated as type REG_SZ Looks like I misled you - the RegistryValue element has a 'Type' attribute, which you can set to 'integer': RegistryValue Id=Registry1 Name=IntValue Value=42 Type=integer / Cheers, John - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [WiX-users] Problem writing registry values
Oki..The ReistryKey and RegistryValue tags are used only with WiX 3.0 right? Yes. Under WiX 2.0, you seem to just use the Registry element, which also has a Type attribute: Registry Id=Registry1 Root=HKLM Key=Software\Product Value=42 Type=integer / Cheers, John - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

I'm using WIX 2.0 and i have mentioned the type attribute in the registry tag as given in my code..
