[WiX-users] util:RegistrySearch default value if not found

[up2date.cyb...@gmail.com]

Hi, in a bundle, using util:RegistrySearch, is there a way to set a 
default value to a variable?
What I have now:

I want to pass the value to a MSI package with:


If the registry value is not found, the command line of the msi is 
"MYMSIVAR=", so I'd like to:
-define a default value if registry value doesn't exist
OR
-don't set the MsiProperty if the registry value doesn't exist

Can someone help me? or tell me another way
thanks

Re: [WiX-users] util:RegistrySearch default value

[Rob Mensching]

I don't know that it is a bug (it's a reasonable behavior)... but the
ability to have a default value is certainly a reasonable feature request.

Re: [WiX-users] util:RegistrySearch default value

[Neil Sleightholm]

It doesn't seem to work, it undefines the variable if the registry value 
doesn't exist.

So this is what I am trying:



It I run the bundle and look in the log I see this:
[2080:1F4C][2012-10-30T14:49:33]: Initializing numeric variable 'Test' to value 
'1'

But if the registry value doesn't exist at the end of the log file where the 
variables are listed "Test" is missing.

As a workaround I am having to do this:




Is this a bug?

Neil

Does it work if you define the Variable and give it a value? The RegistrySearch 
runs later and should update it.

Re: [WiX-users] util:RegistrySearch default value

[Rob Mensching]

Does it work if you define the Variable and give it a value? The
RegistrySearch runs later and should update it.

[WiX-users] util:RegistrySearch default value

[Neil Sleightholm]

Is it possible to set a variable to a default value if a registry value doesn't 
exist  when using the util:RegistrySearch in a bundle like you can with 
Properties and RegistrySearch in an MSI?
