I think that's a doc bug - everywhere else it refers to 'nulls' with respect to REG_MULTI_SZ it means [~], which is what Aaron is seeing.
I suspect a sequencing problem. Does Windows Installer consider _ to be an uppercase character? Would SQL_PROTOCOL be considered a public property or not? I'd try it without the underscore to see if there's a difference. If you need it in the execute sequence you might need to make it a Secure property as well I think. -- Mike Dimmick -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bob Arnson Sent: 19 June 2007 01:45 To: Aaron Shurts Cc: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Problem w/ Registry Search?

It's likely that's difficult to get out of the property. I'd suggest trying MsiGetProperty directly (or wrapped by WcaGetProperty) to see if explicit-length functions will get it out. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
