Registry Search based on other Property

[LuWa]

Hi.

I want to let the User move the Registry-Settings set by the installer into a Folder.

Example:
On the first Dialog i have a TextInput.
The users types in "TEST"
Then i want to read (Search) the registry and wirte the registry in a Subfolder "TEST"

I also want to move the Default APPDIR to APPDIR\TEST

I think my prolbem is, that the SEARCH executes before the user can input the Text.

Is there any Solution?

Hello LuWa,

Indeed, as you have mentioned, the search is performed before the dialogs are spawned.

A workaround for this would be to have a custom search. For instance, you can create your own custom action which will perform the search.

I also want to move the Default APPDIR to APPDIR\TEST

In what regards this, you can proceed as it follows:

- first of all, it is important that the dialog where the user inputs the text is scheduled before the "FolderDlg"

- after that, what we can do here is to create an event which will set the APPDIR to APPDIR\<whatever_the_user_inputs>

- to do so, please go to "Dialogs" page --> select "FolderDlg" --> "Init Events" tab and create an event as it follows:

where the [EDIT_1_PROP] is the property assigned to the editbox control (I underlined it in the first screenshot).

After doing so, when running the setup, the APPDIR property will correctly be set to the expected value - APPDIR\<user_input>

Hi Catalin.

Thanks for your reply.
Your Solution doesn't work for me because i am using the "CustomizeDlg".
Is there any similar solution for this dialog?

Hello Lukas,

If you do not use the "FolderDlg", then you can get that event and add it to your "CustomizeDlg" dialog.

Hope this helps.
