DWORD Registry Search return without #

I ran into this problem recently and a quick search shows at least 5+ issues with DWORD registry searching returning # prefixed to the number that is retrieved. The current suggestion for getting past this is to create a custom action to remove the # from the property.

Re: DWORD Registry Search return without #

Hi,

Indeed, this is the Windows Installer normal behavior when a "REG_DWORD" value is searched. As mentioned in the other threads, in order to get rid of that character, you can create a simple custom action that removes it from the search property.
