Please reply to wix-users. As you saw, you can't embed a RegistrySearch
element in a CustomAction element. What I meant was to write a custom
action to do the registry search, rather than using the built-in
support. The easiest way to do this is some procedural C++ code. Using
the After attribute is also the correct way to sequence actions.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] using one property to set another
Hi,
Thanks for the tip.
But I'm not sure to know how to embed a RegistrySearch elemenent
inside a CustomAction. What I've done is set to a property :
<CustomAction Id="MYSOFT_LOCATION">
<Property Id="MySoft_location">
<RegistrySearch Id="regSearch1" Root="HKLM"
Key="[MYSOFT_REGISTRY]" Name="Location" Type="raw" />
</Property>
</CustomAction>
But obviously doesn't compile. How it's supposed to be done? I'm
newbie with installers and I'm finding quite complicate to work with a
non-procedural installer way.
One last question. After the CA is correctly defined, to force
that custom action to be executed after another one would be like this:
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="Assign1" After="CostInitialize" />
<Custom Action="MYSOFT-LOCATION" After="Assign1" />
</InstallExecuteSequence>
Thanks in advance.
