Amend that. Remove the Value="1" part, not replace the entire line.

Change OLDERVERSIONDETECTED to be whatever you have in your Upgrade table for removing older versions. -----Original Message----- From: Igor Lemsky [mailto:igor.lem...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, October 02, 2009 1:11 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] Problem with storing checkbox state In my installer I have checkbox "Add also addiotional parameters" with property ADDITIONAL_PARAMS. Its value "1" if checkbox is checked, and no value if unchecked. Worked perfectly, but there are problems. I store property to the registry, and use regsearch to restore it during upgrade or reinstall. <RegistryValue Id="ADDITIONAL_PARAMSstore" Root="HKLM" Key="Software\Company\Installation" Name="ADDITIONAL_PARAMS" Type="string" Value="[ADDITIONAL_PARAMS]" /> ..... <Property Id="ADDITIONAL_PARAMS" Secure="yes" Value="1" > <RegistrySearch Id="ADDITIONAL_PARAMS_RS" Type="raw" Root="HKLM" Key="Software\Company\Installation" Name="ADDITIONAL_PARAMS" /> </Property> Problem if checkbox was unchecked during first installation. In registry we see key value of Software\Company\Installation\ADDITIONAL_PARAMS is null. It is ok: the property value in installer is also null and it is right. But during reinstall the checkbox become checked! Installer ignored that ADDITIONAL_PARAMS = null! May be it looks into registry, find no value and set default value from Property Value attribute? if I delete this attribute ( <Property Id="ADDITIONAL_PARAMS" Secure="yes">) then it correctly restored checkbox value (property value) from registry, but then during first install this checkbox become unchecked for default! But I need it to be checked for default. What can I do? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Come build with us!
