Help with Write Registry

[mdavtec]

Not sure what I'm missing, but following code doesn't work.

Code: Select all

Write Registry Key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL14.TEST\MSSQLServer\SuperSocketNetLib\Tcp\IPAll\TcpDynamicPorts, 11422 (permanent)
Apply Install

Set Variable SQLTCPDynamicPN to 
Read Registry Key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL14.TEST\MSSQLServer\SuperSocketNetLib\Tcp\IPAll\TcpDynamicPorts into SQLTCPDynamicPN
MessageBox: SQL Port, TcpDynamicPorts:$SQLTCPDynamicPN$;
Comment: This would still show the old value not 11422.

If I run the installation again, then it would change the value in the registry. Looks like 'Apply Install', when called 2nd time, it works.
I plan to do this for with 'Set x64 bit mode'. And I've tried that but same result.
Any suggestion? Thanks.

The code looks to be correct. Are you sure Apply Install successfully completes on first time you run the package?

Sorry for the late reply but it does shows 'COMPLETE'

I just tried with invoking "Write Registry" exactly as you did from a test project, and it works fine.
You can try by yourself, test project is attached.

So, if there is a problem ...this has nothing to do with Write Registry.
