Hi!

Just exploring InstallAware abit, great software.. But I cant figure out howto add an value to the register?
I found in the wizard where you can make it to set registervalues by default but I need one there I can input a name.

I want the user to install a new "Group" name every time, and that should contain a unique key every time, that the user himself choose.

Should look like this when its done:
\\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Exemple1
Group | Reg_SZ | (randomname)

Full regards.

Hi nucce,

in 5 minutes of research I found neither a simple InputBox command in InstallAware nor in the Win32 API.
So it looks like you have to get that user input with an InstallAware dialog.
Play a bit with the dialog editor, and if you have further questions feel free to ask.

Writing to the registry is the easier part in this case with the "Write Registry" command.
