My installer makes changes in registry. Before that it should take back up of
registry in a .reg file. It is doing all this but with few problems.
If I store the reg back up file in program files folder then it is saved there
through below code:
<Binary Id="reg" SourceFile="C:\WINDOWS\system32\reg.exe"></Binary>
<CustomAction Id="CA_reg" BinaryKey ="reg" Execute="deferred"
ExeCommand="EXPORT "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\TabbedBrowsing"
"[ProgramFilesFolder]tab.reg""></CustomAction>
But If I try to save it in the Install folder then it is not saved, rather
install folder itself is not getting created. See the code below:
<Binary Id="reg" SourceFile="C:\WINDOWS\system32\reg.exe"></Binary>
<CustomAction Id="CA_reg" BinaryKey ="reg" Execute="deferred"
ExeCommand="EXPORT "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\TabbedBrowsing" "[TestReg]tab.reg""></CustomAction>
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="CA_reg" Before="ProcessComponents">NOT
Installed</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
<Fragment>
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder">
<Directory Id="INSTALLFOLDER" Name="TestReg" />
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Fragment>
What am I missing? Do I have to specify Directory in the custom action?
Or is it happening because of sequencing problem? I have tried
After="InstallInitialize" too. May be the custom action is getting executed
before the Install folder could get created but then when installation is
finished I don't see the Install folder too.
Basically I want the reg. back up to be stored inside my install folder. Please
guide me.
