The following steps will assist you in reading a registry value to a property.
- Select Installation Expert --> Target System --> System Search page, click on the Add button and select Registry
- In the Read Registry Value dialog box, enter the name of the Property you wish to set
(Select from the drop down list or create a new property name)
- Select the Operation type using the drop down list. In this case we are looking for the registry value so choose “Read raw value from registry”
- Select appropriate Root using the drop down list.
- Fill in Key field using the name of the key. This is the key path minus the Root. Do not use a leading or trailing '\' symbol in this field; the Windows Installer will make the necessary substitution at runtime.
- Fill in the Value Name. This is the text that is in the Name column of the right hand section of the Regedit tool.
- To check process worked – display result in dialog box by using property name. It should display the registry value.
