Can't compare two strings correctly

[smoura]

I can't seem to compare two strings. One is read from the registry the other is the actual product code.

Code: Select all

~InstallAware Clipboard Data~
~End~
~{B1D297ED-E4B3-4434-84AC-3FB3268FD4CC}~
~End~
~{3425C64F-8ABB-4638-AA17-79F6B0B34186}~
~Set Variable~
~{967B045A-204B-462B-BD78-F268D4200522}~
~NEEDSUPGRADE~
~FALSE~
~Set Variable~
~{C972A75B-3F0C-4547-BB6F-5295DDBAFFAD}~
~MAINTENANCE~
~TRUE~
~If~
~{7DBD8576-B49A-46D0-9A12-A53F1747850F}~
~SAVEDPRODUCTCODE~
~0~
~EPRODUCTCODE~
~FALSE~
~Set Variable~
~{E2809A1D-CBD7-4E49-8343-E5DEF71BC21F}~
~EPRODUCTCODE~
~$PRODUCTCODE$~

~SAVEDPRODUCTCODE~

~SOFTWARE\\nmKN~
~nmpcd~
~Set Variable~
~{689ED080-8817-41CC-B0BA-AD1C0F90A8DF}~

~If~

~ISNMINSTALLED~

~1~
~FALSE~

~Set Variable~
~{2223026C-41FF-46D3-80F5-B5AD95303304}~

I need this type of comparision because I've the need to remove my software from the Add/Remove applications dialog.

Thanks in advance,

Hi!

The line where you say:

Code: Select all

  if Variable SAVEDPRODUCTCODE Equals EPRODUCTCODE

is wrong, it should be:

Code: Select all

  if Variable SAVEDPRODUCTCODE Equals $EPRODUCTCODE$

[smoura]

Well that was it... could you explain why the need to use the $$

Thanks for the help... Will be buying installaware very soon.

Variables are differentiated from literals using dollar signs.
