Write Regisrty not working

Post by ParallaxiT »

I am using the Write Registry command and it is not working. Is there a flag i have to set or a permission? It is feature independant and created in the MSI code as per your help files (see screenshot)

Any help is greatly appreciated

Additional info: it is not just the one registry entry. I have a couple dozen in the app and none are being written.

Thanks!

Are you testing after Apply Install executes?

No i'm not. So i call write registry, then 'Apply Install'occurs, then i can test? That would make sense, i will try it now.

Sorry, what do you mean testing? I check the value in the registry after i install the program and no entries have been written.

Actually i got it to work. You were right, i was using values before they had been set with 'Apply Install'
