The following code snippet works on all OS with the exception of WIndows 8. e.g. on Windows 7 ExcelHelpPath32 has a correctly formatted path to the help file and TSDataDirectory has a correctly formatted path to the data Directory, On Windows 8 ExcelHelpPath32 is again correctly formatted whilst TSDataDirectory has the string [INSTALLDIRDATA]. I have removed some lines for clarity because I have 10 registry entries 5 work and 5 don't.
I have looked for any issues reported on Windows 8 installations but can't find anything, anyone got a clue what is going on? <Component Id="RegistryEntries" Guid="DED812D4-E24B-4154-BF18-EFC6C1A0B0CD"> <RegistryKey Id='ServerProgramPath' Key='Software\Product\2\SystemConfiguration' Root='HKCU' ForceDeleteOnUninstall='yes'> ....additional lines removed.... <RegistryValue Id='ExcelHelpPath32Value' Name='ExcelHelpPath32' Type='string' Value='[PRODUCTLOCATION]Help.chm' KeyPath ='no' /> <RegistryValue Id='TSDataDirectoryValue' Name='TSDataDirectory' Type='string' Value='[INSTALLDIRDATA]' KeyPath ='no' /> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite It's a free troubleshooting tool designed for production Get down to code-level detail for bottlenecks, with <2% overhead.
