You can't "embed" RegistrySearch inside custom action. RegistrySearch is what will be called by standard AppSearch (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa367578(VS.85).aspx) action. What you need to do is write either scripting or C/C++ dll custom action, do registry search using code and then set the value of some property to a value from the registry.

I mean, how it's supposed to response a mail via the sourceforge list. I'm don't 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. -- Regards, *Natxo Mateos* [EMAIL PROTECTED] *Asuni CAD* - _www.asuni.es <http://www.asuni.es>_ - 93 319 6868 - 91 541 6439 *Especialistas en el desarrollo de aplicaciones a medida sobre AutoCAD* ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
