Hi, This is what I ended up doing:
-> Query all registry keys in setup.wixobj with xpath (//w:tab...@name='Registry']/w:row/w:field[starts-with(., 'reg')]) -> Add each key to hashtable if not already in hashtable -> If key exists in hashtable generate a new key (actually I just append _1, _2, ... if necessary) and change it in setup.wixobj This builds and results in a correct registry. Best regards, JB 2010/9/13 Bryan Reich <bryan.re...@microsoft.com> > It uses the id, root, key, and name, but not value. > The default progId is written under the class key and the only difference > is the value, so the generated ID is the same. > Don't know about the resolution and what build to expect it in.
