RegOwner not getting registered user back

[JeanHarris]

When I run my new 7.0 setup.exe that is created by Setup factory the Name and Company fields have word Micorosoft in them on the User Information window. If I try to display the user info it is null and the below gives me and error message. Can someone explan what the issue is here?

name = System.GetUserInfo();
name1 = (User.User);
Dialog.TimedMessage("Please Wait", "User infromation is being logged for security purposes. You are logged as "..name1..".", 4000, MB_ICONINFORMATION);

That info is pulled from the RegisteredOwner information -- which is different than the user that is currently logged in.

name = System.GetUserInfo();
name1 = (User.User);
Dialog.TimedMessage("Please Wait", "User infromation is being logged for security purposes. You are logged as "..name1..".", 4000, MB_ICONINFORMATION);

Your code is flawed, specifically:

name = System.GetUserInfo();
name1 = (User.User);

There is no variable "User" defined yet -- so User cannot be indexed by .User.
Furthermore, System.GetUserInfo() doesn't return a table wtih an element called .User so you're not going to get very far there.

If you want the registered owner:

cRegOwner = System.GetUserInfo().RegOwner;

If you want the currently logged in user:

cLoggedInUser = System.GetLANInfo().User

Thanks,
That help me figure out what was going on. My registry had the RegisteredOwner and RegisteredOrganization in two locations. The second had Microsoft set for both and that is what is being used. This is a new win 7 system...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\ Windows NT\CurrentVersion\

same behavior on my XP system too. With Setup factory 6.0 I did not have this problem.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\ Windows NT\CurrentVersion\

the wow6432node is the 32bit redirect on a 64bit os -- this is where any 32bit program would read from.

Of coruse you would have the exact same problem -- User.User doesn't exist in suf6 either.
