Populating User Information screen

[MBSweb]

I have been trying to populate the User Information screen after I write that information to a specific registry spot.. but with no luck.

I use the code below to write in the Shutdown section ..

Registry.SetValue(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\\Metal Building Software", "User",
					SessionVar.Expand("%UserName%"), REG_SZ);

Registry.SetValue(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\\Metal Building Software", "Company",
					SessionVar.Expand("%UserCompany%"), REG_SZ);

And the code below to populate the user form.. tried to add this code to the Actions of the User Information screen in the Before Installing section.. but ended up adding to Startup

--
-- load edit fields with information from registry if present
--
-- User name

if Registry.DoesKeyExist(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SOFTWARE\Metal Building Software") then

	tmp = Registry.GetValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SOFTWARE\Metal Building Software", "User", false);
	
	SessionVar.Set("%UserName%", tmp);

--
-- Company name
--

	tmp = Registry.GetValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SOFTWARE\Metal Building Software", "Company", false);
	
	SessionVar.Set("%UserCompany%", tmp);
	
end;

Am I go about this all wrong? If anyone has a better mouse trap.. please let me know

Forgot to escape the backslash in Registry.DoesKeyExist() and Registry.GetValue()? Also, you are setting the keys in HKCU and reading from HKLM ... perhaps using a single location would work better.
