As Rob said it is not supported in Windows Installer but it quite a
simple custom action in DTF. I had a similar problem reading the SQL
port my instance was using, here is an example:
public static ActionResult ReadSqlTcpPort(Session session)
{
session.Log("Begin ReadSqlTcpPort");
using (RegistryKey reg =
Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(@"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL
Server\MYINSTANCE\MSSQLServer\SuperSocketNetLib\Tcp"))
{
// If key is found, look for value
if (null != reg)
{
session["SqlTcpPort"] = reg.GetValue("TcpPort",
string.Empty).ToString();
}
else
{
session["SqlTcpPort"] = string.Empty;
}
}
return ActionResult.Success;
}

Subject: [WiX-users] RegistrySearch for REG_DWORD handling using WiX
Installer
Hi,
RegistrySearch for REG_DWORD handling using WiX Installer.
After the RegistrySearch it returns REG_SZ with "#1".
How do you resolve this issue so it will set the return type to an
REG_DWORD and
value of 1?
Thanks in advance!
<Property Id="PORT" Value="12345"> <RegistrySearch
Id="idPORT"
Key="SOFTWARE\Company\Product" Name="Port" Root="HKLM"
Type="raw" />
</Property> <File ..........> <RegistryKey Root="HKLM"
Key="SOFTWARE\Company\Product" Action="create">
<RegistryValue
Name="Port" Value="#[PORT]" Type="integer" /> </RegistryKey>
</File>
