Ok, so by custom action do you mean one that would call a vb script to retrieve these values and set the properties or is there some other sort of CA that I can use?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] RegistrySearch on a REG_MULTI_SZ Looks like retrieving a reg_multi_sz using the RegLocator table during AppSearch is not a great way of doing this. Plenty of places on the web document this oddity. I think you might just want to use a custom action instead of a registry search to retrieve this value and write it to a property. dana On Thu, Jul 31, 2008 at 11:02 AM, Zane Zeeh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm trying to get the default SQL Server Instance using the following: > <Property Id="SQL_INS" <RegistrySearch Id="SQL_INS_SRC" > Root="HKLM"Key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server" > Name="InstalledInstances" Type="raw"/></Property> > This SHOULD return one or more values in the format > ~InstanceName1~InstanceName2~InstanceName3.
