Hi,
I have a Visual Studio 2013/Add-in Express installer project that is using the
WiXUI_Advanced dialog set, and therefore has an install scope selector (All
users vs. only current user). My understanding is the typical registry hive for
software settings is HKLM, whereas the current user should be HKCU.
I've tried setting the registry root using a property containing either "HKLM"
or "HKCU", but the RegistryKey... Root attribute will only accept certain
strings, i.e. HKLM, HKCU, etc. When I build, it gets an error if I try to use a
property as the value of Root.
So, I was thinking of trying to use some sort of if...then block -- if possible
-- to use a different RegistryKey element based on the InstallScope value at
runtime, based on whether the user selects either all users or current user,
but I cannot figure out how to do it.
Note: I am not looking to create two MSIs, or two different features, but to
perform this logic at runtime using one feature and one MSI.
This is the block at issue, where I need to vary the "Root" value. This is
within Fragment\ComponentGroup\Component just above where I list all the files
to install:
<RegistryKey Root="HKCU"
Key="Software\[Manufacturer]\[ApplicationSuiteName]\[AddinRegistryKeyName]"
Action="createAndRemoveOnUninstall"> <RegistryValue Type="string"
Name="Installed" Value="[APPLICATIONFOLDER]" KeyPath="yes" /> </RegistryKey>
Does anyone have any ideas on this?
Thanks for any help,
Jeff Montgomery
