Re: [WiX-users] RegistrySearch on click

2015-03-06 Thread Joseph L. Casale
 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.

Thanks for the pointer,

 Trying that again...
 
 I have been searching around for a while without luck on the approach
 used to initiate a RegistrySearch using a value entered in a text field
 when the user presses next in a dialog.
 
 The best I could come up with was publishing a DoAction event in the
 next button control. However, I cant seem to find an indication that
 you can actually create a CustomAction that performs a registry search?
 
 Ultimately I need to return an error if the value is not found.
 
 Thanks,
