Need help w/ Read Registry Variable - Thanks!
Hi - Just upgraded to 3.0 and using Win 2K. Am having a problem getting a read registry variable to work. Want to run an EXE if Internet Info Services (IIS) is found in registry, or jump to Page 2 in AutoPlay menu if not found.
Win 2k registry path is: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\InetStp
Made 3 actions for a text object (Mouse Click):
Action 1 - Read from Registry:
Name: %RegVar%
Main Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Sub Key: Software\Microsoft\InetStp
Did not set a Value Name, but checked TRUE if Exists (as I understand, checking this makes a Value Name not required). Pretty sure this is all correct, now here's where I am guessing:
Action 2 - Jump to Page 2 with a Boolean Condition:
Value A is: %RegVar% Operator: = Value B is: No
Action 3 - Execute Program with a Boolean Condition:
Value A is: %RegVar% Operator: <> Value B is: No
Well....it does not work. What did I do wrong? Tried flipping operators, values and defaults - even including the Value Name, but have hit a dead end. May be way off here, because IR info on this topic is thin. Thanks in advance for your advice!
P.S. Suggestion to IR: give more details/examples on variables and the boolean stuff. It's awesome when it works, but the help is light on the details.
