Hi All, I am creating an wix installer. I want to create a registry entry whose path is not under the directory structure created in the WIX file. Below is what i intend to do:
<Directory Id='TARGETDIR' Name='SourceDir'> <Directory Id='Scheduler' Name="Scheduler"> <Directory Id='PLTLPLOGAMERA' Name="Pipeline Scheduler Gamera"> <Component Id="x86RegEntGameraSimulatorPath" Guid="{C769AC98-A3D0-4CB4-939F-F396B49D4E5F}" Win64="no"> <RegistryValue Id="x86GameraSimulatorPathRegValue" Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\[Manufacturer]" Name="$(var.standalonesimulatorRegName)" *Value="D:\Project\ESI\PFW\trunk\StandaloneSimulator\bin" *Type="string" /> </Component> <Component Id="x64RegEntGameraSimulatorPath" Guid="{0ED0A7FC-DCB1-4C36-A39B-56F9F97A3A2C}" Win64="yes"> <RegistryValue Id="x64GameraSimulatorPathRegValue" Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\[Manufacturer]" Name="$(var.standalonesimulatorRegName)" Value="*D:\Project\ESI\PFW\trunk\StandaloneSimulator\bin*" Type="string" /> </Component> </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> The *Value *in the above keys is the path where an application "standalonesimulator.exe" is installed.Please suggest if there is anyway that i do not have to hardcode this path. I know i can use an include file and fetch this path, but again that path will be harcoded in the include file anyways.
