Re: [WiX-users] custom action to write a reg value

[Don Tasanasanta]

Sorry I didn’t explain more…   Yes, there will be a bootstrapper running the install and monitoring the registry to see if the install completed successfully. Failed, or if a reboot was necessary. Then the bootstrapper will act accordingly.   The install will be running silently so no UI sequence will be involved. ______________________   Don Tasanasanta VIACK Corporation 425-605-7423   From: Derek Cicerone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 01, 2006 3:50 PM To: Don Tasanasanta; wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [WiX-users] custom action to write a reg value   Could you explain your scenario a bit more?  Why would it be important to know when an install has completed?  Is this for a bootstraper?  Will there be some other program continuously pinging to find out when the install is complete?   Thanks, Derek   From: Don Tasanasanta [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 01, 2006 3:46 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [WiX-users] custom action to write a reg value   Yes, that is exactly what I’m trying to do… is there another way to go about this?   ______________________   Don Tasanasanta VIACK Corporation 425-605-7423   From: Derek Cicerone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 01, 2006 3:29 PM To: Don Tasanasanta; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [WiX-users] custom action to write a reg value   Why?  Windows Installer only writes a value if it’s successful (otherwise it rolls back).  Are you trying to determine if an install is successful or when it’s successful?   Derek   From: Don Tasanasanta [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 01, 2006 3:26 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [WiX-users] custom action to write a reg value   I would like to write the reg value after “installfinalize” when I’m sure that the install has been successful.   ______________________   Don Tasanasanta VIACK Corporation 425-605-7423   From: Derek Cicerone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 01, 2006 3:09 PM To: Don Tasanasanta; wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [WiX-users] custom action to write a reg value   Just write the registry key as part of the normal installation – why would that require a custom action?   Derek   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Don Tasanasanta Sent: Tuesday, August 01, 2006 2:57 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] custom action to write a reg value   I’m looking to create a reg value to indicate that the install was successful.   And ideas?   ______________________   Don Tasanasanta VIACK Corporation 425-605-7423
