[wix-users] Double quotes in registry value

[Dzmitry Razhanski]

Hi Pavan,

It would be better if you provide your own code which doesn't work.

Using the code below:
	 <Property Id="TEST_REG" Secure="yes">
 		  <RegistrySearch Id="SEARCH_TEST" Root="HKLM" Key="Software\TEST" Name="xxx" Type="raw"/>
	</Property>
	<Property Id="TEST2" Value='"&BLAH"' />

I got the same result in the installation logs:
	Property(S): TEST_REG = "&BLAH"
	Property(S): TEST2 = "&BLAH"

These conditions disable and enable my component installation accordingly:
	<Condition> <![CDATA[ TEST_REG <> TEST2 ]]></Condition>  <!-- FALSE-->
	<Condition>  TEST_REG = TEST2 </Condition> <!-- TRUE-->
              <Condition> TEST_REG = '"&BLAH"' </Condition> <!-- TRUE-->

Best regards,
            Dzmitry Razhanski.

Subject: [wix-users] Double quotes in registry value

Hi All,

I am trying to write a launch condition based on the value in a registry. The value is say "&BLAH" , the double quotes are in the value. How do I make my custom property evaluate to this value?
MY_PROP="&BLAH" isn't working as it evaluates to just &BLAH and putting '"&BLAH'" or ""&BLAH"" isn't working. Also escaping them with " or & isn't working.
Any ideas?
