Keep WixUsers on the thread so others can also learn and contribute. In WiX 3.0, I only see "raw" used with RegistrySearch and "string" used with Registry. I don't see anywhere that you have a choice between the two.

What's the difference? Cheers Sean. -----Original Message----- From: Blair [mailto:os...@live.com] Sent: 18 February 2010 06:42 To: 'General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.' Cc: sean.far...@seanfarrow.co.uk Subject: RE: [WiX-users] Registry search help, and invoking a dialog if a condition is set RegistrySearch will place a value from a registry key into a property. You can use the presence of the property to condition the dialog (see the help/schema for the Dialog element and the RegistrySearch element). Use the dialog to set another property which you will use to condition a custom action to execute the registry key (via the afore mentioned property). -----Original Message----- From: ricky sundrani [mailto:rickysundr...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 17, 2010 10:28 PM To: sean.far...@seanfarrow.co.uk; General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Registry search help, and invoking a dialog if a condition is set As far as the modification of ini files is concerned, you probably won't need a custom action. There are some built in elements. http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/wix_xsd_inifile.htm http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/wix_xsd_inifilesearch.htm On Thu, Feb 18, 2010 at 11:13 AM, sean farrow <sean.far...@seanfarrow.co.uk>wrote: > Hi: > > I need to search for a registry key, store this in a property and then > execute a dialogue if the property is set.
