Hi, I need to write a key to the registry pointing to the location of my program. It is in the ProgramFilesFolder. How do I refer to this variable in the registry key?
with the following I get an MSI out but it crashes halfway through; <Directory Id='TARGETDIR' Name='SourceDir'> <Directory Id='ProgramFilesFolder' Name='PFiles'> <Directory Id='MYDIR' Name='TestProg' LongName='Test Program'> <Component Id='hotkeyfiles' Guid='12345678-1234-1234-1234-098765432112'> <File Id='hotkeysexe' LongName='GrowBusinesshotkeys.exe' Name="hotkeys.exe" DiskId='1' Vital="yes" src='C:\projects\work\growbusinesshotkeys\demomachin e\hotkeys.exe' /> <File Id='gbsicon' Name='gbslogo.ico' DiskId='1' Vital="yes" src='C:\projects\work\growbusinesshotkeys\demomachin e\gbslogo.ico' /> <File Id='gbssite' Name='gbssite.txt' DiskId='1' src='C:\projects\work\growbusinesshotkeys\demomachin e\gbssite.txt' /> <File Id='_1280X1024contextsetter' Name="c1280x1" LongName='1280X1024contextsetter' DiskId='1' src='C:\projects\work\growbusinesshotkeys\demomachin e\1280X1024contextsetter' /> <Registry Root="HKCU" Key="Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" Action="createKey" > <Registry Name="SIHotkeys" Value="${var.MYDIR}\hotkeys.exe" Type="string" /> </Registry> Cheers, Bryan Rasmussen ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
