Re: [WiX-users] Informational Registry key for windows products
Ok..i see that this entry getting created automatically when i run the
MSI.and it takes the GUID i have specified in the Product/ tag
But i have a custom set of registry values to be created under this path as
you can see in the screen shot..where do i define these entries? as a
seperate component like the main application registry entries?
And here in this case say how do i add values for HelpLink and
HelpTelephone ?

The first chapter http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/ here should help you
out with this. There is a link to a simple DOS exe that will be able to
generate your GUIDs for you.
In fact as far as I remember all your questions should be answered on
there.

“HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{GUID}
For every product,i see these entries under the folder which is named
either a {GUID} or application name..
Now can anybody help create this using WIX? which GUID should i be using
in this case? where can i get the related documentation?
any help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance

Re: [WiX-users] Informational Registry key for windows products
Not too sure about this one either but you can set a bunch of properties in
the MSI, which as far as I can tell correspond to (at least some of) these
entries.
Have a look on http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson5.php#5.8 here again.
