Hov to write and retrieve registry settings based upon variables.

[NewsArchive]

This should be extremly simple, but i can't figure out how to.
The program is installed at %SB_INSTALLDIR%
Its data at %DATAFOLDER%
I want to set theese two variables to a registry key value if it exists.
That means, that I on the first installation should find that no reg keys
exists, and then create them.
On updates, the variables should be set to the registry keys values.
I get stuck allready when I try to write a variable to a registry key.
Someone who has done this, and could give a code example?

Best regards

Edvard,

You only have to use the "Get Registry Key Value" script function.

For example:

Set Variable %PREVIOUSDIR% to ScriptItem->Get Registry("InstallationDir") from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Linder Software\SetupBuilder 4.0

If %_SB_ERRORCODE% Not Equals "0" Then
Set Variable %_SB_INSTALLDIR% to %PREVIOUSDIR%
End

Does this help?

By the way, to write registry values, use the "Registry Visualizer" or the
"Edit Registry" script function.
