I'm trying to build a simple installer with *Wix* that does some staff due to
a *RegistryValue* that I insert. I have a registry value called *Number*
with a value of 10.
![enter image description here][1]
I used a *string value* with *REG_SZ* type. With that, as far as I
understand, my variable will have the value *10* and not *#10*, like other
types seem to do.
So with my `WiX` installer I try to find that registry value like this:
<?define myNumber="8" />
<Property Id="CHECKNUMBER">
<RegistrySearch Id="CheckNumber" Root="HKLM"
Key="Software\MyNumbers"
Name="Number" Type="raw" Win64="no" />
</Property>
<Condition Message="Higher number">
</Condition>
<Condition Message="Lower number">
</Condition>
So I guess this will do a basic comparison from the registry value like
this:
if (<RegistryValue> > myNumber)
ShowEmergentWindow saying: "Lower number"
else
ShowEmergentWindow saying: "Higher number"
But this check doesn't work well. Even if I put the same value on the
registry and inside my *myNumber*, it always launches *the first written
condition*. I mean, if I change the order of the conditions, the first one
is *ALWAYS* launched.
I'm sure I'm misunderstanding something related with registry values
comparison using *WiX installer*, but I don't know why this doesn't work as
expected. Any idea?
