I'm using Wix2.0 (4820) and the output produced by tallow -reg is
causing bad behavior when installing.
regcap.exe my.exe
tallow -reg my.reg
This produces the output:
<Registry Root="HKCR" Key="TypeLib\{xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}\4b.0">
<Registry Value="My Program" Type="string" />
</Registry>
<Registry Root="HKCR"
Key="TypeLib\{xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}\4b.0\FLAGS">
<Registry Value="0" Type="string" />
</Registry>
But, when installing the log file shows that the values are being
written, then overwritten with empty values:
Executing op:
RegOpenKey(,Key=TypeLib\{xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}\4b.0,,BinaryType=0,)
Executing op: RegAddValue(,Value=My Program,)
Executing op: RegAddValue(,,)
Executing op:
RegOpenKey(,Key=TypeLib\{xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}\4b.0\FLAGS,,BinaryType=0,)
Executing op: RegAddValue(,Value=0,)
Executing op: RegAddValue(,,)
By changing the .wxs file as follows, the registry is updated
properly, and the values are not overwritten:
<Registry Id="regexe22" Root="HKCR"
Key="TypeLib\{xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}\4b.0" Value="My
Program" Type="string" />
<Registry Id="regexe23" Root="HKCR"
Key="TypeLib\{xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}\4b.0\FLAGS"
Value="0" Type="string" />
Is this a bug with tallow, or with candle? Any suggestions on what to
do rather than manually fixing all tallow output?
Thank you,
Jon
