Hi, This Wix file seems to install, at any rate all of the files get output to the correct folder, but the ending registry edit doesn't happen, and the installation doesn't ever stop (meaning that when I reboot my installation is just sitting there waiting to complete) so I have to use Windows uninstall toolkit to manually stop the installation.
Here's the file, any reasons that you can think of?: <?xml version='1.0' encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <Wix xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2003/01/wi'> <Product Id='12345678-1234-1234-1234-098765432114' Name='Software Innovation GrowBusiness AutoPilot' Language='1033' Version='1.0.0.0' Manufacturer='Software Innovation'> <Package Id='12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789015' Description='Sample AutoPilot installation package' Comments='First example of AutoPilot installation' InstallerVersion='200' Compressed='yes' /> <Media Id='1' Cabinet='product.cab' EmbedCab='yes' /> <Directory Id='TARGETDIR' Name='SourceDir'> <Directory Id='ProgramFilesFolder' Name='PFiles'> <Directory Id='SIDir' Name='SI' LongName='SoftwareInnovation'> <Directory Id='AUTOPILOT' Name='autop' LongName='AutoPilot'> <Component Id='hotkeyfiles' Guid='12345678-1234-1234-1234-098765432114'> <File Id='AutoPilot' LongName='AutoPilot.exe' Name="autopilo" DiskId='1' Vital="yes" src='C:\projects\work\growbusinesshotkeys\version2\AutoPilot.exe' /> <File Id='gbsicon' Name='gbslogo.ico' DiskId='1' Vital="yes" src='C:\projects\work\growbusinesshotkeys\version2\gbslogo.ico' /> <File Id='hotkeys1' LongName='General Soegning' Name="GenSoeg" DiskId='1' src='C:\projects\work\growbusinesshotkeys\version2\General Soegning' /> <File Id='hotkeys2' Name="NyKor" LongName='Ny KorrespondanceDokument' DiskId='1' src='C:\projects\work\growbusinesshotkeys\version2\Ny KorrespondanceDokument' /> <File Id='hotkeys3' Name="OpNyAkt" LongName='Opret Ny Aktivitet' DiskId='1' src='C:\projects\work\growbusinesshotkeys\version2\Opret Ny Aktivitet' /> <File Id='hotkeys4' Name="OpNyKon" LongName='Opret Ny Kontakt' DiskId='1' src='C:\projects\work\growbusinesshotkeys\version2\Opret Ny Kontakt' /> <File Id='hotkeys5' Name="OpNyVi" LongName='Opret Ny Virksomhed' DiskId='1' src='C:\projects\work\growbusinesshotkeys\version2\Opret Ny Virksomhed' /> <File Id='hotkeys6' Name="SkrAdm" LongName='Skrivebord Administration' DiskId='1' src='C:\projects\work\growbusinesshotkeys\version2\Skrivebord Administration' /> <File Id='hotkeys7' Name="SoegKon" LongName='Soeg KontaktPerson' DiskId='1' src='C:\projects\work\growbusinesshotkeys\version2\Soeg KontaktPerson' /> <File Id='hotkeys8' Name="SoegKor" LongName='Soeg Korrespondance' DiskId='1' src='C:\projects\work\growbusinesshotkeys\version2\Soeg Korrespondance' /> <File Id='hotkeys10' Name="help" LongName='Hjaelp' DiskId='1' src='C:\projects\work\growbusinesshotkeys\version2\Hjaelp' /> <File Id='hotkeys9' Name="SoegVi" LongName='Soeg Virksomhed' DiskId='1' src='C:\projects\work\growbusinesshotkeys\version2\Soeg Virksomhed' /> <File Id='hotkeys11' Name="SoegD" LongName='Soeg Dokument' DiskId='1' src='C:\projects\work\growbusinesshotkeys\version2\Soeg Dokument' /> <File Id='graphic1' Name="backg.jpg" LongName='background_ap_gui.jpg' DiskId='1' src='C:\projects\work\growbusinesshotkeys\version2\background_ap_gui.jpg' /> <File Id='graphic2' Name="footer" LongName='footer_ap_gui.jpg' DiskId='1' src='C:\projects\work\growbusinesshotkeys\version2\footer_ap_gui.jpg' /> <File Id='graphic3' Name="header" LongName='header_ap_gui.jpg' DiskId='1' src='C:\projects\work\growbusinesshotkeys\version2\header_ap_gui.jpg' /> <File Id='programconfig' Name='keys.ini' DiskId='1' src='C:\projects\work\growbusinesshotkeys\version2\keys.ini' /> <File Id='size1' Name="1680X1" LongName='1680X1050' DiskId='1' src='C:\projects\work\growbusinesshotkeys\version2\1680X1050' /> <File Id='size2' Name="1400X1" LongName='1400X1050' DiskId='1' src='C:\projects\work\growbusinesshotkeys\version2\1400X1050' /> <File Id='size3' Name="1280X1" LongName='1280X1024' DiskId='1' src='C:\projects\work\growbusinesshotkeys\version2\1280X1024' /> <File Id='size4' Name="1280X7" LongName='1280X768' DiskId='1' src='C:\projects\work\growbusinesshotkeys\version2\1280X768' /> <Registry Root="HKCU" Key="Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" Action="write" Name="SIAutoPilot" Value="[AUTOPILOT]AutoPilot.exe" Type="string" /> </Component> </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> <Feature Id='hotkeys_step1' Title='GrowBusiness Hotkeys 1.0' Description='Installation package' Display='expand' Level='1' ConfigurableDirectory='AUTOPILOT'> <Feature Id='MainProgram' Title='Program' Description='The main executable.'

I need to retrieve a value from the registry and write the value to a file, can you give me a link to a tutorial that shows that (probably find that relatively easy on my ow, but with the other questions already in play I figured the experts could just tell me.)
