Re: [WiX-users] RegistrySearch on click
I think you’d have to write your own VB script/DLL custom action to: 1. Read the user’s input from a property 2. Read the existing value from the registry - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34065/how-to-read-a-value-from-the-windows-registry 3. Write a property (or don’t) if the user’s input matches what’s currently in the registry 4. Use the newly created property to condition whether or not to allow the ‘Next’ button to proceed to the next dialog Hi Joel, It turned out to be rather simple to do this with a C# DLL.
