I am writing an installer for a plugin module to a larger application.
To install correctly I need to read several registry values set by
the larger application. Each registry path chains off of the prior
registry searches. My first attempt:
<Property Id="THEIRCURVER">
<RegistrySearch Id="TheirCurVer" Root="HKCU"
Key="Software\TheirCompany\TheirProduct" Name="CurVer"
Type="raw"></RegistrySearch>
</Property>
<Property Id="THEIRCURLANG">
<RegistrySearch Id="TheirCurLang" Root="HKCU"
Key="Software\TheirCompany\TheirProduct\[THEIRCURVER]" Name="CurLang"
Type="raw"></RegistrySearch>
</Property>
<Property Id="THEIRPRODUCTNAME">
<RegistrySearch Id="TheirProductName" Root="HKLM"
Key="Software\TheirCompany\TheirProduct\[THEIRCURVER]\[THEIRCURLANG]"
Name="ProductName" Type="raw"></RegistrySearch>
</Property>
According to the verbose installer log the .msi correctly changes the
properties THEIRCURVER & THEIRCURLANG. The THEIRPRODUCTNAME property
is never changed. Why is that? Do I have to do something different
to expand two properties in a registry path?
(Yes, the registy root changes from HKCU to HKLM once I know a
specific version and language)
Thanks
