Hi All,
I am using RegistrySearch to read the registry setting that specifies the
configuration directory into a Property. This allows upgrades to identify the
correct directory in case the user has changed from the default.
This works fine if the registry setting contains the value
"C:\Windows\system32\Novell\Nici".
However if the registry setting contains the equivalent value of
"%SystemRoot%\Novell\Nici" then the install halts and I get the following error:
"Could not access network location %SystemRoot%\system32\Novell\Nici".
This second value is what already exists in the registry (this is an upgrade
from a previous InstallShield product), so I need to know how to use this kind
of entry.
I am seeing this issue on a Windows Server 2008 x64 bit machine as well as XP.
Thanks in advance for your help
Carl
