Registry Question

[abnrange]

Hello,

Quick question - I have a small exe file that once run I want to set a registry or ini value that, if the exe has already been installed don't install it again. How do I tell the exe not to run again?

On Button Click
File.Open("AutoPlay\\SoftwareDIS\\ImagingFiles\\UniImage.exe", "", SW_SHOWNORMAL);
-- Set the data "Installed" in the Local Machine Registry.
Registry.SetValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "Software\\IFD5", "ImagingFiles", "Installed", REG_SZ);

Then I would get the value from the registry

value = Registry.GetValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "Software\\IFD5", "Installed", true);

if value == true then

??????

Thanks

Would it not be easier to just check for the existence of the file and if it exists don't run it again?

So, my exe file once excuted created a folder on the root of C:\call sysprep in the folder is sysprep.inf.


result = File.DoesExist("C:\\Sysprep\\sysprep.inf");

if File.DoesExist("C:\\Sysprep\\sysprep.inf") then
-- DON'T RUN
else
-- RUN FILE HERE
end

...your test will return a boolean value so you can test for result being true or false.

result = File.DoesExist("C:\\Sysprep\\sysprep.inf");
if result == false then -- didn't find it
-- do your install scripting here
else
-- do a Dialog.Message("Installation Status", "Already Installed")
end

I hope this is what you are asking...

mwreyf1 - sorry, you beat me to it..
