Variables must have a prefix (like 'var.', 'env.', or 'sys.') and a name at least 1 character long. If I escape the first parenthesis, like this: $\(hClientWnd) $\(Node) $\(DBUserID) $\(ConnectionString) $\(Product) PackageReport ChangeDoc [EMAIL PROTECTED] It compiles fine, however, the string is inserted as the value exactly as typed, which is incorrect. So how can I set this registry value using WiX? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
