Hi all, I'm looking to read in the data value of a string in registry and set another string equal to that. Is there a way this can be done through an MSI tables?
I looked at the AppSearch and RegLocator Tables and possibly passing the value into a property however it doesnt read in the data value. I believe this can be done via InstallScript but have never used this so would need a step-by-step process for it that I could follow. I'm using Installshield 2012.
Existing environment reg value to read: HKLM\SYSTEM\APP\KEY StringName=Variable1
New reg value to write: HKLM\SYSTEM\APP\KEY StringName2=Variable1

Hi guys,
I found my error. The stringvalue was listed in my key section as oppose to the Name value in the RegLocator table. Can't believe I missed that. Cheers for the help.

You can create a vbscript for this and put that in a Custom Action.

Thanks, if I can handle it natively using the tables I'd rather avoid the use of CA scripts if possible. - Busby101 10 years ago
