Registry key in the installer

Hello

I am uttering an installer for a program. I need to create entries in the windows registry. One of the values must be the path to my executable, but I don't know the path when I create my Installer. Is there any way I can retrieve the path to my executable installed during installation so that it can be written in the registry, or is there another solution?

Thank you in advance.

You can force the installer to run your executable at the end and at this time writing the location of the executable file in the registry.

  • Set the path for the registry settings for the installer

    Hello!

    I want that my Installer to add some registry keys in the Windows registry.  The value of these registry keys is dependent on what the user selects as their installation for my software installation path.  Does anyone know if there is a variable which represents the installation path as installation of %path% or something?

    I'm using LabVIEW 2009 SP1.

    Let me know if you need more information!

    I guess if it isn't a solution, I can add code to my program to create these registry keys once the installed program.

    Thank you!

    I solved this solution by running a small "setup wizard" application (written in BT) that gets run when the Setup program finishes. To configure this, be sure to include your Assistant app built with the Installer Setup and then there is a setting in the advanced options of the installer to specify an application to run when the Setup program finishes. You can also pass parameters from command line for the program, and particularly to the destination installed (e.g. C:\Program Files\...) and [DISTROOT] for the folder that contains setup.exe (for example D:\) [INSTALLDIR].

    I couldn't see any reference to these guys using registry options, but if they work as well because, it's certainly worth knowing

    (although for the soft, I speak to you, the installation wizard has done much more in addition to writing registry values, including audit/install 3rd party drivers and .NET)

  • Install the software and registry keys for the windows installer I screwed up after a system restore, what can I do?

    After you install an update, which forced me to restart my laptop, I had to do a restore point, because it stops while windows is loading files of the update, which led me to a restoration of the system, which has messed up a large number of windows registry keys install leaving me unable to open the following software:

    • Skype
    • Avira (but not the antivirus) Launcher
    • Java

    I can not install or uninstall these programs, either because I need to an .msi file that does not match the latest version of these programs, the program does not appear in the uninstall Manager or just installer does not at all, so what can I do to correct these programs and be able to install their return

    The just Java installer does not appear when I double click on the .exe, no matter if it is the x 64 or 32 bits, and I can't uninstall it because it does not appear in the uninstall Manager.

    Avira Launcher Installer, ask me for a .msi to remove the last version, but I can't, if the installation fails, also the program does not appear in the uninstall Manager.

    The Skype installer just cannot be updated, and I uninstalled it with a 3rd party uninstaller, but now it's just throw a critical failure when starting to install

    My main question is, how can I solve these installers, should I format this laptop and do a clean install of windows?

    Hello

    Please contact Microsoft Community.

    After the description of the problem, I understand that you are not able to install programs after system restore.

    In this case first I'd say allowing you to run the cities in trouble it automatically repair the issues that block the installation program or delete because of corrupted registry keys.

    https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/mats/program_install_and_uninstall?WA=wsignin1.0

    After that it fixes if you have any third party anti virus try to disable it from your computer and then try to install these programs.

    WARNING:

    Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished.

  • Problems when I want to update my complete system Mavericks using a USB key with the installation program.

    I want to "Refresh" my Mavericks home cleaning system and I still have a USB key with the complete installation program.

    With this USB key, I installed successfully already before Mavericks. Now, I want to repeat the installation by booting from USB key. But when the installation starts early an alert appears, said something like "... the verification failed - something is changed on the volume...". "and the cant of the installation continues.

    I've archived the original "OS X Mavericks installieren.app" from the app store and I have properly prepared another USB key using the terminal app, referencing the original installer, but I still get this alert when I try to install with this new USB.

    It is necessary for me to work with the Mavericks, because it's the latest version of the system on which I can run Adobe Creative Suite CS6 correctly. With the later versions of OS X, I get problems on my Mac Pro (end of 2008).

    I wonder what could happen with my first USB data, as I have already installed Mavericks successfully with it under the same conditions and after that he never touched the stick again so far. What can I do? What is the reason for this? Y at - there a site where I can get help or advice to solve the problem or if necessary can I re-download an Installer 'fresh '?

    Thank you and what is Berlin

    You can make a bootable USB to install using this free program that will do all the work for you. Try running disk utility/repair disk be before installation.

  • Restore the registry keys to the initial state of work - XP NTFS and permissions

    We have a system Dell / Windows XP (32-bit) / NTFS.

    We have changed the permissions and registry keys and need to bring back them to the original state when we bought them. At this very moment the administrator cannot see the network and we think that it was something to do with the registry keys or authorization keys (more than likely the permissions).  We tried to restore the computer to several different States of known work and it is impossible to restore. We do not have a backup, but they have all the original disks that came with it. Is it possible to restore these settings?  Thank you

  • Periodically remove the registry keys with the Task Scheduler?

    I wonder if it is possible to create a batch script or similar small program to periodically delete the registry keys, specifically:

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify]
    "PastIconsStream".

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify]
    "IconStreams".

    A little history on why I want to do this:

    My computer is configured to dual boot (Vista and Fedora Linux), with a score of shared data.  I also use Dropbox for a group of records.  It complicates things with a system dual boot because the folder name is different in each system (vs My Dropbox Dropbox).  I worked around this by creating hubs and symbolic links in each operating system of 'real' folders to default Dropbox folders as appropriate.

    This works as expected. The only problem is that Windows Dropbox does not monitor files for changes and checks only when the program starts.  To work around this problem, I created a small script that kills Dropbox and scheduled to run every half hour using the Scheduler of tasks, followed by a task to start Dropbox.

    The only problem with this is that over time I find myself with hundreds of copies of the Dropbox icon in the status bar Notification area.  I found some instructions to reset the cache of the icon, which is to remove the two above mentioned registry keys and restart the Explorer.  So my question (finally!) is really about if there is a way to automatically reset it one or twice a day, rather than manually deleting the key each time that I remember.

    Of course, if there is a better/more way to deal with this, I'm happy to hear about it!

    Hi Mander,.

    Editing the registry, especially using a batch file and the Planner is, in my opinion, a little dangerous. After all, a bad move a your system registry key could easily be paralyzed.

    I don't really know if my suggestion would be to use or not, but it's worth a try. There is a (free) third-party application called CCleanerwww.ccleaner.com it effectively removes temporary internet files, history, cookies, index.dat file and a host of other things too. An option available in the "Advanced" tab Windows section is to clear the "tray notification cache. Do you think that this is likely to help solve your problem without needing to run a batch file? It's only a suggestion like the registry rated - is not my field, but, like I said the app will costs you nothing and it is certainly worth giving it a try. It can do what you want it to do. Just a suggestion!

  • "Error 1402.Could not open key" during the installation of Adobe and HP update. Updates failed and earlier of the software cannot be put back in place because permission to modify the key is denied.

    • Issue: Failed to update and previous software may not be returned to or re-installed. Problem programs include Adobe Reader and scan and editor for my HP C4180 all-in-1 photo printer.
    • (For example) error messages:
      Error 1402.Could not open key:
      UNKNOWN\Components\1FA18F797...
      Check that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support...
    • No recent changes, with the exception of updates failed and normal widows.
    • I thought bad updates from HP and Adobe has caused the problem, so I uninstalled and tried to re - install the software several times, hoping a release update would solve the problem.  Impossible software returned to or re-installed, so I bought try 'PDF Converter 6' to to access PDF files. This program could not be installed for the same reason.

    The Windows 7 FAQ has reported that Windows 7 could be reinstalled everything keeping the settings. The same can be done with Vista? If not, is there a safe way to delete these keys, so the software can be installed/re-installed without having to make a facility 'clean '?

    Thank you.

    Hi misterDormie,

    This problem may occur if the permissions to a specific key in the Windows registry has been denied because the registry is corrupted or due to registry permissions

    I suggest you try the following steps:

    Step 1: Check with a different user profile

    If you do not have a different user account, you will need to create a (see link below).  If everything works fine with a different user profile, you can infer that the user profile is damaged, click on the link to find out how to solve this problem.

    Hello

    I read a few threads about similar problems with the BONE key and the key change has always helped
    Sometimes, Microsoft rates the key of the image as incorrect or not valid. Why? I don't know... it's Microsoft you know ;)

    Fact is that the key on the cover of the CD can only be used to activate the software Microsoft Works or OneNote installed on the laptop. The key is not responsible for the Windows operating system.
    The key that could be used with the Win operating system is placed at the bottom of the unit.

    Well, according to your message you used this key and now I m a bit confused
    I think you should make a call to the Toshiba authorized service provider in your country to clear this problem

    I worked for HP.

    This work also (well) with the J6480 printer.  I was using a Linksys router Wireless 'G' which creates 4 WEP keys, allowing you to choose which use.  I sent #2 key and it would not accept.  The only way I could make it work was to disable wireless security, is not my idea of a good option.  After numerious emails and 1 appeal to support with no ideas that I decided to seek out here and finally managed to do accept the WEP key.  I ended up completely uninstall/reinstall to get everything to work 100%, but now it works like a charm.  For those of you with a similar problem, when using a router that generates more than 1 WEP key, try using (sending) key #1
