Hi,
I want to save the path where my binaries are installed somewhere in the
registry so I'm doing:
[code]
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder">
<Directory Id="MyFirstSetup" Name="MyFirstSetup">
<Directory Id="INSTALLLOCATION" Name="MyFirstSetup1.0">
<Component Id="MyExe" Guid="9660051E-43CA-4459-AEF1-290BBE3DE544">
<File Id="MyMainExe" Name="MyApp.exe"
Source="..\MyApp\Debug\MyApp.exe" DiskId="1" KeyPath="yes"/>
</Component>
<!-- Create also a registry entry with the INSTALLLOCATION. For now
it's getting in the registry as an empty value, probably b/c when this is done
INSTALLLOCATION was not yet evaluated to it's final value-->
<Component Id="MyRegistryComponent"
Guid="7B2F2C2A-9BF3-4D67-BBD6-9C58FFCFB5A1">
<RegistryKey Id="MySetupRegKey" Root="HKLM"
Key="Software\MySetup" Action="createAndRemoveOnUninstall">
<RegistryValue Id="MySetupRegValue" Type="string"
Name="InstallDir" Value="[INSTALLOCATION]"/>
</RegistryKey>
</Component>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
[/code]
but the string in the registry is empty. How can I do so that in the registry I
get the INSTALLLOCATION? What am I doing wrong in the above sample?
TIA,
Viv
