Category: None Group: v3.0 Status: Open Resolution: None >Priority: 3 Private: No Submitted By: Kelly Hollis (kellyhpdx) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: REG_MULTI_SZ RegistrySearch causes errors during MSI install Initial Comment: When a RegistrySearch element is reading a REG_MULTI_SZ, the resulting MSI fails to install to the location specified during feature customization, and will not uninstall via the Remove button. For instance, if the registry contains the key: HKLM\Software\TestWix\MyMultiString with values "Test1" and "Test2", the search <RegistrySearch Id="mymulti" Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\TestWix" Name="MyMultiString" Type="raw" /> will cause the installer to exhibit the problems mentioned above. Attached is a zip file with a sample project that demonstrates these problems. Changing the registry search to look at a REG_SZ key instead causes the problems to disappear. This was tested using version 3.0.2712.0. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Bob Arnson (barnson) Date: 2007-03-21 06:46 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=26581 Originator: NO There is definitely a weirdness going on. The good news is that it affects only the UI; using 'msiexec /x' still removes the product. The neutral news is that a RegistrySearch for a REG_MULTI_SZ isn't very useful; see the RegLocator table doc: REG_MULTI_SZ Null. The installer sets the property to a value beginning with a null and ending with a null. I'll keep the bug open to keep thinking about it but at first glance, I can't think of a way the UI can change what MSI does. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Kelly Hollis (kellyhpdx) Date: 2007-03-16 12:23 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=229733 Originator: YES I'm attaching a verbose log during an attempted uninstall via the remove button. File Added: uninstall.log ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bob Arnson (barnson) Date: 2007-03-16 02:46 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=26581 Originator: NO Can you attach a verbose log? Much easier to diagnose problems that way. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=642714&aid=1681505&group_id=105970 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
