Hi, I have a "leftover" (after uninstall) registry value from an old InstallShield X Universal (Java based) install that is not getting overwritten by my new, WiX v3 based, .msi install.
When my .msi install is complete, the registry looks like this; REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\Applicati on\iis_smtp_adapter] "EventMessageFile"="C:\\Program Files\\MessageGate\\lib\\event_msg.dll" "TypesSupported"=dword:00000007 (note the "lib" directory) The verbose install log contains these entries; MSI (s) (14:34) [13:30:55:685]: Executing op: RegAddValue(Name=EventMessageFile,Value=C:\Program Files\messagegate\bin\event_msg.dll,) WriteRegistryValues: Key: \SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\Application\iis_smtp_adapter , Name: EventMessageFile, Value: C:\Program Files\messagegate\bin\event_msg.dll MSI (s) (14:34) [13:30:55:701]: Executing op: RegAddValue(Name=TypesSupported,Value=#7,) WriteRegistryValues: Key: \SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\Application\iis_smtp_adapter , Name: TypesSupported, Value: #7 I'm confused as to why there is no error (note the "bin" directory) at; WriteRegistryValues: Key: \SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\Application\iis_smtp_adapter , Name: EventMessageFile, Value: C:\Program Files\messagegate\bin\event_msg.dll when it failed to correctly write the value. If I manually create the "leftover" registry value with a .reg file, the proper value is written correctly by my .msi install. Also, after my .msi install, I can manually change the registry to the correct value, so it doesn't seem to be a locking problem. Any tips/hints appreciated.
