    Hello, wilson:

    thanks for your help.

    The example has some limitation when the data type of registry entry is
    REG_RZ just as I mention in the last post.

    My further qestion is if the data type of registry entry is REG_BINARY, how
    can I compare it in the launch condition expression, I know the "#" works
    well for REG_DWORD, such as IISVersion>="#4".

    sincerely,

    haiwen
