I would like to refer anyone with this issue to my follow up post here where I believe I've cracked it...

Best regards
having problems with Read Registry and Check Registry.
I've installed IA 18.11.6.13 on Windows 7 x64 fully patched.
I've created a simple install package and am checking to see if Office 2010 or 2013 are installed as follows:
Code: Select all
Read Registry Key HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Excel\InstallRoot\Path\ into Office2010_Installed_Read
Read Registry Key HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Excel\InstallRoot\Path\ into Office2013_Installed_Read
Check Registry Key HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Excel\InstallRoot\Path\ into Office2010_Installed
Check Registry Key HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Excel\InstallRoot\Path\ into Office2013_Installed
I have tried both HKCU and HKCM but none of them returns the value of the Key. Any thoughts or advice?
AHAHAH - IS THIS a bug in InstallAware...
When I copied the Registry Key from the Registry this is the Key string I got.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Excel\InstallRoot
InstallAware uses the strings HKCU and HKCM and not HKEY_CURRENT_USER or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE which are actually found in the Registry
How do we tell InstallAware to use the both the full string name and the short ones? Because from my reckoning InstallAware wll never find any keys under if it only uses short strings on Windows 7 x64.
Thanks and regards
