How to search a (Default) registry entry with value (value not set) from WIX? -


How can we find a (default) registry entry with value (value not set) from WIX? I tried using the registry search without the name attribute still not working. Any help would be appreciated.

(value not set) / code> is not a real value When you are not actually set the value for the (default) key, then this is just what you see in regedit.

If you do not set the Registry Search value, or a registry key that does not exist, then in both cases the Windows Installer property will not be set. You can not distinguish between the two.

So how do you verify that the registry key exists or not? The easiest way is to find another value that is always set when the key is present, instead of searching for (default) . Usually there is one. If not, then you have to write in the form of your own custom action form.
