I tried that but for some reason it just allways shows the hard coded value and not the registry value.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] RegistrySearch Problem Don't things work if you just put the defaults in the Property/@Value and nest the RegistrySearch elements under there? -----Original Message----- From: Adam Nicol [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2008 08:56 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] RegistrySearch Problem Hi, I have several custom dialogs in my installer allowing the user to enter SQL Server connection details and active directory settings. I don't want the user to have to re-enter this information each time they install a new version/reinstall, so I have made it so that during the install, each of the entered values are stored in the registry. Then when the user runs a new version of the installer their previous settings are loaded from the registry and displayed in the dialog. This all works perfectly, but now I want to be able to have some default values in the fields the first time that the installer is run when there is nothing in the registry. Somehow I need to check the registry to see if the keys exist and read them if they do, otherwise show the user default values in the fields. Is this possible, and if so how would I go about doing this?
