DWORD registry values will always have a prefixed '#' character. It is possible for it to get a '+' or a '-' character following the '#' and preceding the actual number (in decimal aka base-10). You'll need a custom action to parse/strip it. The Windows Installer's formatted syntax doesn't have many string-manipulation operations built-in.

How do I strip it off? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
