Re: Registry launch condition

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Phil,

Having problems getting this working. I want to check that Windows XP Fas
Switching is not enabled since my app does not support this. I therefore
created a Search Target Machine registry search specifying the
root=vsdrrHKLM
regkey=SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
value =AllowMultipleTSSessions
property=REGISTRYVALUE1.

I have then added a launch condition set to REGISTRYVALUE1=0. Even though my
system has this value set to 0, I still get a "FALSE" returned on the launch
condition and the install fails.

What have I done wrong ?

Thanks for your help.

Niclas

It's the other way round. A search target machine will find a registry
value but not a key - the underlying MSI AppSearch won't locate a registry
key, just a value.

Hi,

Is t possible to evaluate a registry value as a launch condition, or is
it only possible to check for a registry key existence ?
