[WiX-users] RegistryKey and Property Value

[bba]

Hi,

For an Autocad plugin I need to create registry values with 'Key' based on a
property.

Basically this is what I'm doing:

Read and define a property based on a value in the registry:
<Property Id="ACAD_PATH">
      <RegistrySearch Id="RegSearchAcadPath" Name="AcadPath" 
                   Root="HKLM" 
                   Key="Software\$(var.MyDir)\$(var.ProductName)\Install" 
                   Type="raw" />
</Property>
Then create RegistryValues based on this property:
<Component Id="RegisterDll" Guid="B2B95869-F601-43FE-A92B-9DBCEA407303">
      <RegistryKey Root="HKLM"
                   Key="[ACAD_PATH]\Applications\$(var.ProductName)"
                   Action="createAndRemoveOnUninstall"/>
          <RegistryValue Root="HKLM"
                     Key="[ACAD_PATH]\Applications\$(var.ProductName)" 
                     Name="DESCRIPTION" Type="string" Value="2" />
          <RegistryValue Root="HKLM"
                     Key="[ACAD_PATH]\Applications\$(var.ProductName)" 
                     Name="LOADCTRLS" Type="integer" Value="2" />
</Component>
Wix tells me:
The Component/@Guid attribute's value '*' is not valid for this component
because it does not meet (...)
Whenever I replace [ACAD_PATH] to some path
("Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R18.0\ACAD-8001:409") I get a nice build.

Obviously I'm missing something. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Regards,
Bart
