Re: Property field to populate registry entry

Hello and welcome to Advanced Installer forums,

In order to achieve that you can go in the Install Parameters page and Create or edit a property(e.g. MY_PROP).

Then you can go in the Registry page, create your registry value and in the Data field your can have something like [MY_PROP].
So, when you are running your package from the command line you can use something like:
MSIEXEC.exe /i SomeMSI.MSI MY_PROP=”BLAHBLAH ”

Please let us know if that helped.

Best regards,
