A bug writing permanent registry values

[garyk]

In my Installer I have 2 scripts (A and B), each with its own ApplyChanges.
B has a writeRegistry command for X which is marked as permanent and a writeRegistry command for Y which is NOT marked as permanent.
A does not have writeRegistry commands for X or Y.
My installer runs script A and DOES NOT run script B.
After installation, the registry does not contain Y (as expected) but IT DOES contain X although B was not executed.
I am using IA 2012.

Is there a workaround for this problem other than using an external command for writing to the registry?
Thanks
Gary

Hi,

Have you included the Include Script command in your main script file (A I'm assuming)?

[garyk]

I have indeed included the script, but under an 'if' which equals FALSE so I am NOT executing the included code.

Hi Gary,

I strongly recommend two things:
1) Making sure that no one else is creating Y or that it doesn't already exist
2) Running your setup step by step (debugging it) and seeing if any Write Registry commands are being called

We have already done both things you command before ever posting this issue.
What I describe IS a bug I am sure.
However, as you are not convinced, I will try writing a minimal installer that will hopefully reproduce it and send you.
