This is probably a very basic question, and if I read it right in the
documentation and tutorials online it should all work, but it doesn't...
What I'm trying to do is write the full path to a filename in the
registry, but [INSTALLDIR] does not get replaced by the actual install dir:
<Component Id='SomeEXE' Guid='someguid'>
<AppId Description="Some exe" Id="{some other guid}" />
<File Id='FileSomeEXE' Name='Some.exe' DiskId='1'
Source='..\SomeEXE\Release\$(var.Platform)\Some.exe' KeyPath='yes' />
<RegistryKey Id='ProductKey' Action='createAndRemoveOnUninstall'
Root='HKLM' Key='Software\[Manufacturer]\[ProductName]'>
<RegistryValue Id='SomeEXEValue' Action='write' Name='SomeEXEPath'
Type='string' Value='[INSTALLDIR]Some.exe'/>
<RegistryValue Id='SomeOtherValue' Action='write' Name='Something else'
Type='string' Value=''/>
</RegistryKey>
</Component>
The registry on after installation looks like this:
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\MyCompany\MyProduct]
"SomeEXEPath"="Some.exe"
"SomeOtherValue"=""
What I want it to be is this:
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\MyCompany\MyProduct]
"SomeEXEPath"="C:\Program Files\MyCompany\MyProduct\Some.exe"
"SomeOtherValue"=""
or whatever path the user decided to install to.
This should just work, or am I missing something?
