You would have to create a DLL CustomAction to do the registry reading
yourself, yes. The CustomAction can search and set a Property. Again, when
you think about the reorganization, you're going to find there is a lot of work
when you want to handle rollback. I would recommend changing the application
design so you don't have to do this in the install.

okay, so what should be the workaround?
should I have a dll which does this work and have a custom action fill in the
registry. In this case... The dll will just lie there and it wont have any
other use - I would need that to reorganise the value names while uninstalling.
Any better idea?

You can't do that with anything built into the Windows Installer. That pattern
isn't really great for really robust installation behavior either. It can be
very hard to correctly repair, patch and sometimes uninstall the data.

Subject: [WiX-users] RegistrySearch??
In one of my registry keys the system has following strings
OPEN REG_SZ value
OPEN1 REG_SZ value1
OPEN2 REG_SZ value 2
now how do i find out that the next name should be OPEN3?
On target machine, there may be OPENn (n could be any number) how can i derive
OPENn+1
Thanks,
Nitin
