My MSI is writing the reg key initially as #[Property] Hence the problem. Because after appsearch it is ##

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Appsearch for dword How are you writing this registry entry? There's nothing explicit in the MSI file's registry table that says something is a dword or a string - it's in the value. If you write #2 to the registry Windows Installer will create it as a dword. If you prefix it with #x it will create it as binary. So that's why I'm wondering how you are writing this item to the registry. It looks to me that somebody has code somewhere that is parsing #2 and deciding it's a string, but that isn't what Windows Installer would do.

Subject: [WiX-users] Appsearch for dword Hi, I am performing an AppSearch for a dword reg key. I want to set another dword reg key to the dword value returned from the AppSearch. But unfortunately, when the AppSearch finds the dword key, it returns it as #2 (for instance if the dword were 2). So the new reg key gets written as REG_SZ, not a dword. Is there any way I could fix this? (Without writing a custom action that parses off the #, etc) Thanks!
