Registry entry

[NewsArchive]

I want to add a reg key + value from my installer for the <client> to a
ClarioNET enabled app. More specifically I want to set the http timeout
value on the client pc to avoid constant time-outs.

That's no problem as such but it got me thinking: what will happen if the
entry is already there? Do you get an error or does it overwrite or what? Or
should I first try to retrieve the value, if any?

Advice/recommendations appreciated.

TIA
Peter

If the value is already there, then the old value will be backed up (if you
have uninstall enabled) and the value will be overwritten.

You can use "Get Registry Key Value..." to check if the value (and what
value data) is already there and then do whatever you want (e.g. do not
overwrite it, ask the user what to do - overwrite/not overwrite, etc.)

Does this help?
