I am trying to be nice to users upgrading from one version (or rolling
back) and use the general method of creating a default value which the
user can override in the install, or may override by editing the
registry value itself later on (perfectly valid in the context of the
applications, things change and we must cope with this).
On installing over an existing install I read all the values from the
registry, assign to property, and use this if not changed again in the
GUI.
This all works fine for REG_SZ but for REG_DWORD the registry search
prepending a # converts the DWORD to a REG_SZ and give it a string value
of #12345. Below is the code I am generally using to try to achieve
this, first install I get a dword, after that it gets converted to
REG_SZ.
<Include>
<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>
</Include>
What are the issues in getting just the Value from a reg search without
the prepended #?
Will I have to write a CA just to get rid of this value?
Any ideas welcome, thanks
Peter
