Hmm, still doesn't work. Actually I think this is wrong:
<Registry Root="HKCU"
Key="Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run"
Action="createKey" >
<Registry Name="SIHotkeys"
Value="[MYDIR]\hotkeys.exe" Type="string" />
</Registry>
does createKey map the term key to the actual Registry concept of a
key? I thought not because I didn't see any CreateString values as
being allowed.
I'd assumed it did not just create a key but strings and integers and
so forth, but of course that could be wrong. If it is, what action
should I be doing. Also is my Type correct? How do I tell WIX that I
want a REG_SZ?
