[wix-users] when creating registry value, can I not log it to the MSI log file?

[Steve Ogilvie]

Hi folks,

 

I have several MSI’s in my installer.

 

Let’s call two of them X and Y…

 

Y requires some information from X

 

So what I do is create some registry entries in X, which Y
reads and later deletes the registry entries…

 

2 of those registry entries are passwords…

 

Is there any way to *NOT* log the registry value into
the MSI log file?

 

i.e. when I use:

<RegistryKey Id="ProductId" ForceCreateOnInstall="yes" ForceDeleteOnUninstall="yes" Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\MYCO\MyProduct">

<!-- The password will be deleted by the next installer -->

<RegistryValue Type="string" Name="Password" Value="[A_PASSWORD]"/>

 

Thanks,

 

Steve
