Hi,
We are using Installshield 12 for building the setup for our application.
We have a requirement that some entries should be made in the registry during the installation process.
And these entries should be made only on VISTA operating system.
I have imported the .reg file into the Installshield project using Project assistant, it is registering the entries on any operating system and it is working fine.
But my requirement is it should update the registry only if it is VISTA. Is there any possibility to put condition in the installscript to make the registry entries only if it is VISTA and it should not register on any other operating systems.
Thanks for your help in advance..

Just make use of InstallScript registry functions to create the registry keys and values and use SYSINFO to create them dependent on the OS.

Or deliver two .reg files, one for Vista and one for XP (or whatever). Run the Vista one when you are installing on Vista.

Here is some very simple code:
szKey = "Software\\My Company\\Test";
RegDBSetDefaultRoot(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE);
RegDBCreateKeyEx(szKey, "");
RegDBSetKeyValueEx(szKey, "Install path", REGDB_STRING, TARGETDIR, -1);
Just take a deeper look at the help file to get more information about registry related InstallScript functions.
