Thanks Rob for your reply.

Windows Installer has very poor read-MULTI_SZ operations. You'll probably be stuck with a custom action... unfortunately. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mukesh Agrawal Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2008 08:53 To: 'wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net' Subject: [WiX-users] Reading the registry entries - Facing an interesting problem Hi, Refer to the attached image. In a registry entry, we can have many Registry Values for a key. For example, I have 3 values for the key Softwares\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\Instance Names\SQL. I don't know the "Names" of these Registry Values and I want to check every Values of this key. Also, I don't know the number of such values for a particular key beforehand. Is there any way to get these Values in wix? In my investigation what I have found is, in this case, I can get the Names for all possible values of this key from another registry entry. But the problem is, all these names are stored in "space separated string" or REG_MULTI_SZ format. Is there any way to parse this string and get names from this (in wix). Also, how do I know the count of such names because I will need those many properties for making a registry search.
