Sorry, meant to include the code from the RegistryValue in the initial
post.
<Component Id="RegistryEntries"
Guid="625A72DC-E180-46A2-8AC0-B292BD4AE3C7">
<RegistryKey Root="HKLM" Key="$(var.RegistryKey)"
Action="createAndRemoveOnUninstall">
<RegistryValue Type="string" Name="version"
Value="$(var.SoftwareVersion)" KeyPath="yes" />
</RegistryKey>
</Component>
The value being written to the registry is just defined in a separate
config file
<?define SoftwareVersion="1.5.2.0"?>
The base MSI has version 1.5.1.0 defined as the version number, while
the above is from the new MSI I'm attempting to create the MSP from.
I've viewed both the original MSI and the new MSI using Orca and have
seen the different values in the registry tables, I'm just not seeing
the registry key being updated by the MSP file.
Thanks,
Bryce

What does the RegistryValue code look like? That might help people tell
you what's going wrong. If the value you're writing in this
RegistryValue is a Property which differs *at run-time* in the 2 MSI's
there may not actually be a problem here, it could be expected
behaviour.

Subject: [WiX-users] Registry entry updates in MSP file
I'm following the directions on http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/ for
creating an MSP file. One of the things I'm trying to do is update a
registry value on the patch and it doesn't seem to be working. Anyone
have any idea how I go about getting the registry value created on
install, updated to a different value on the patch.
The patch wxs looks something like this for the patch family, where the
RegistryEntries is the reference back to the registry entries that are
created (it's just one entry).
<PatchFamily Id="ConversionsPatchFamily"
Version="$(var.ProductVersion)" Supersede="yes">
<ComponentRef Id="RegistryEntries" />
<ComponentRef Id="MainApp" />
</PatchFamily>
Am I doing something wrong here? The value that is being written to the
registry is different in both MSIs I'm using to create the patch from.
I've searched around but haven't found anything that worked
Thanks,
Bryce
