Suggested way to check for registry variable

I need to check for system configuration that allows use of 8.3 file naming on NTFS and emit warning before installation begins. I figure I can check the registry variable, NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation, and post a warning dialog if needed. But, I am unsure how to handle silent installation where warning issued in log file or event viewer. Is there a suggested way?

Thank you.

Re: Suggested way to check for registry variable

Hello,

To achieve what you need during silent install you can use your own custom action to write the search result in the log file.

Let us know if you have any questions.

All the best,
