I don't think you can do it without custom action. However, it should be pretty simple: 1. Use the standard RegistrySearch functionality to get the value you need into a property 2. [CA here] Modify the property the way you need (increment, for instance) 3. Use the standard RegistryKey/RegistryValue functionality to write the modified value back

I'm hoping that I won't need to write a custom action, or that such a custom action already exists in the WiX code. Is there any way for me to increment a reg key just with WiX?
