I believe I need to set a property during a patch.
Feel free to disprove me as I am new to WIX Patches and think I know what I am
doing ( Ha! )
Ok, I am patching an installation that someone else created.
I have two sets of files , Server and Client
When I attempt to install a patch to the Client, my shortcuts to the product,
and a registry entry are getting messed up.
So I am thinking that a property used by the client install to create the
shortcuts is NOT being set by the patch install, thus they are getting messed
up.
So How do I set a PatchProperty based on a registry entry?
This is OK
<PatchProperty Name="PARENTPATH" Value="[PARENTDIR]\MSDynamicsSL.exe" />
This gets an error in candle.exe
<PatchProperty Name="SLAPPLICATIONSDIR">
<RegistrySearch Id="SLApplicationsRegistry" Type='directory' Root='HKLM'
Key='$(var.DynamicsSL_RegKey)' Name='$(var.ParentDirectory_RegName)' />
</PatchProperty>
