In my installation I need to set a dword registry to a default value when the install is first run and remove the key on uninstall but not change it on an upgrade. I am struggling to find a way to do reliably and wondered if anyone had any suggestions.
Here is what I have tried: 1. Read the existing value with <RegistrySearch> and rewrite it on upgrade, this fails because DWORDs come back prefixed with a hash (#) and <RegistryValue> causes this to be written as a string. 2. Read the existing value with <RegistrySearch> and Condition the <RegistryValue> so it is only written when the value is not set. The problem with this is that on upgrade the key is removed. I can solve this by writing a CA to read the values but I am sure there must be a standard way of doing this that is eluding me.
