Hi all,
I'm trying to do something pretty simple:
1) Check the registry for a key specifying an existing installation
directory
2) If it exists, use that key as the installation directory by default
3) If it doesn't, use a default c:\program files\... directory by default.
4) Either way, let the user override it if they want.
How do I do this? One problem is I don't understand the difference between
specifying the installation directory through a tree of <Directory>
elements, or through the Value attribute of a <Property> element.
I'm trying this:
<Property Id="INSTALLDIR" Value="[ProgramFilesFolder]\My Product">
<RegistrySearch Id="__42E1B969D8E64539B094322695057F0F" Root="HKLM"
Key="Software\[Manufacturer]\RegKey" Name="InstallRoot" Type="raw" />
</Property>
But [ProgramFilesFolder] isn't getting substituted, and I'm thus getting a
"Could not access network location" error.
Any help?
Thanks very much,
Steve
