I have the following registry searches, the 1st one fails on _some_ machines,
the 2nd works as expected.
<Property Id="MY_EXISTING_TARGETDIR" Secure="yes">
<RegistrySearch Id="TargetDirSearch" Root="HKLM"
Key="Software\MyCompany\MyProduct"
Name="ProgramPath" Type="directory"/>
</Property>
<Property Id="MY_EXISTING_VERSION" Secure="yes">
<RegistrySearch Id="VersionSearch" Root="HKLM"
Key="Software\MyCompany\MyProduct"
Name="Version" Type="raw"/>
</Property>
Nearly identical, except the 1st one uses Type="directory". So I'm wondering
why the 1st one fails.
This gets written to the log file during AppSearch:
Action start 10:14:18: AppSearch.
AppSearch: Property: MY_EXISTING_TARGETDIR, Signature: TargetDirSearch
AppSearch: Property: MY_EXISTING_VERSION, Signature: VersionSearch
MSI (c) (64:54) [10:14:18:288]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding MY_EXISTING_VERSION
property. Its value is '1.0.0.1'.
So "TargetDirSearch" was not able to retrieve the registry value
"ProgramPath". This wouldn't come at a big surprise if "ProgramPath" didn't
exist in the registry.
But there is a hint in the log that "ProgramPath" actually existed, because
later in the log, there was a rollback where a value was written back to
"ProgramPath":
MSI (s) (4C:8C) [10:15:00:802]: Executing op:
RegAddValue(Name=ProgramPath,Value=C:\Programme\MyCompany\MyOldProgram,)
So any ideas, why the RegistrySearch with Type="directory" could fail,
though the registry value was there?
Best Regards
