Hello all, I am having some problems with an installation using Wix v3 During install of application I run
<Property Id="SETUPFOLDER"> <RegistrySearch Id="SETUPFOLDER" Root="HKCU" Key="SOFTWARE\$(var.Company)\$(var.Product)\Common" Name="SetupFolder" Type="raw" /> </Property> SETUPFOLDER is later used for setting the target of a shortcut in the start menu. This works when I install or reinstall by running my bootstrapper setup.exe which then starts the MSI package. But when applying patches for instance or bypassig the setup.exe and running the MSI directly, then the registry search returns C: or is just empty. When I check that path in registry using regedit then I do find the correct value there but for some reason the RegistrySearch fails and I can't figure out why. Notable is that this error does not exist in Windows XP, but now as I have been porting it to Windows 7 I noticed this problem. So basically the code should work, but it doesn't do that in Win7 (only works if I go through the bootstrapper exe) Any suggestions? Thanks!
