Cannot add registry information

[Morantex]

Hi;

I'm trying to get my installer to add some information to the registry but it is being ignored it seems.

I'm trying to add key name 'Morantex' beneath HKLM\Software\Microsoft\.NETFramework\AssemblyFolders

Then within the new key (Morantex) adding a simple (Default) value that points to a folder in the installation.

This looks fine in the AI IDE - the new key 'Morantex' has "create if absent" and "delete if present" set (the parent keys do not because they (should always) pre-exist).

When I run the installer it runs fine but the new key and value are never there - Ive checked spellings, refreshed regedit etc but cant see any obvious problem - what am I doing wrong?

While trying to understand this issue, I saw the menu icon "Add key from registry" and added HKLM\Software - once I clicked OK it took ages and ages - it would be nice to be able to cancel this operation once started as I did not intend to add that large a subtree....

OK I'm getting somewhere - I will update this thread once I make a few changes....

OK this is resolved - the keys were being added - but I completely forgot about the Wow6432Node !!

Thx

Hello Hugh,

While trying to understand this issue, I saw the menu icon "Add key from registry" and added HKLM\Software - once I clicked OK it took ages and ages - it would be nice to be able to cancel this operation once started as I did not intend to add that large a subtree....

I've added this improvement on our TODO list and maybe it will be implemented in a future version of Advanced Installer. Thank you for your suggestion.

OK this is resolved - the keys were being added - but I completely forgot about the Wow6432Node !!

I'm glad you got this working.

All the best,
Daniel
