Something doesn't appear to match between your error report and your offered code.
If the component containing the registry key/values that have the property in the key's name has a @Guid='*' then this is something that has been addressed recently in this list (the fix is in 3.5 and the workaround is to generate a guid yourself if you can't move to 3.5). If the component contain the registry has a @Guid that is a GUID then you have a bug I haven't seen. -----Original Message----- From: bba [mailto:bartb...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, September 24, 2009 2:58 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] RegistryKey and Property Value 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?
