Thank you - that worked but I could use some help in understanding how/why. How does setting the condition "Not PROPSERVERHOSTNAME" force the property to be updated to the user override value on the backend when the xml file is updated?
There's also one other kink I'm trying to figure out in regards to my original question. I did simplify my code in the original question, but what I'm actually trying to do is set a default value for a property, allow the user to override that property value then store the value in the registry and then load the property on subsequent upgrades. If I include the condition you specified, then my Registry key now will never load because PROPSERVERHOSTNAME already has a value of "Sample". Any thoughts on how I can get this to work? <Property Id="PROPSERVERHOSTNAME" Value="Sample" Secure="yes"/> <Property Id="PROP_REG_APPSERVER_HOSTNAME"> <RegistrySearch Id="REG_APPSERVER_NAME" Root="HKLM" Key="$(var.RegPath)" Name="APPSERVER_HOSTNAME" Type="raw"/> </Property> <SetProperty Id="PROPSERVERHOSTNAME" Value="[PROP_REG_APPSERVER_HOSTNAME]" After="AppSearch">Not PROPSERVERHOSTNAME AND PROP_REG_APPSERVER_HOSTNAME</SetProperty> -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Unable-to-override-SetProperty-value-with-Edit-Control-value-tp7591569p7591593.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.
