Okay,

So I've scoured the documentation and tried every which way... but I
can't for the life of me figure out how to de-select a checkbox based
on a registry value.

Let's say for example I provide the user with the option to install a
desktop shortcut or not, simple enough. However I want store the value
of this in the registry so that the shortcut isn't recreated during a
repair, and so I can remember the users setting across an upgrade so
that the UI defaults to their previously selected state.

Issues I've come across are
 - Checkboxes are selected whenever there is a non-null value (I even
tried setting the Integer property, using zero, etc. no luck)
 - Orca won't let me null a property, I have to drop the entire row
(older versions seem to permit it, just not the latest)
 - RegistrySearch doesn't seem to overwrite properties if an
empty/null value is in the desired registry key (i.e. key exists,
value doesn't)

Basically I'm really stumped trying to figure out how to nullify a
property on the fly or read an empty registry value (or missing, I can
work with that too). If I can do that then I'm halfway there. Any
ideas/suggestions?


Sascha

(Note that a desktop shortcut isn't the real issue here, it's just the
most obvious way to explain what I'm trying to do)
