We use WiX 3.0.4805.0.
I needed to implement this requirement:
Check the registry HKCR\foo\bar, if it exists then do nothing; if it doesn't
exist, then write the registry.
So I have these pieces of code:
<Property Id='CHECK_FOOBAR_REGISTRY'>
<RegistrySearch Id='CheckFoobarRegistry'
Root='HKCR'
Key='foo\bar'
Type='raw' />
</Property>
...
<Component Id="WriteFoobarReg" Guid="...">
<Condition>NOT CHECK_FOOBAR_REGISTRY</Condition>
<RegistryKey Root="HKCR"
Key="foo\bar"
Action="create" >
<RegistryValue Type="string"
Value='"[#MyApp]"'
KeyPath="yes" />
</RegistryKey>
</Component>
...
<ComponentRef Id="WriteFoobarReg" />
It works. But realized that this registry entry will be deleted when
uninstall(if it's created by the installer). I thought "create" means just
creating the key, but not delete it during uninstallation. So what is the
difference between "create" and "createAndRemoveOnUninstall" action?
Thanks.
