Hi,

I need to put string, which has special characters, to registry. My string begins with two ESC's (0x1B) and ends CR (0x0D) like this:

0x1B0x1BMyString0x0D.

It is essential that special characters are in binary form. Is that possbile?

Thanks in advance.

PS. If this is General MSI question, sorry for put this to the wrong group, Stefan.

I couldn't find any other solution but write CA for this.

An alternative would be writing a program or script that modifies the MSI after you built it. This is a better solution if your registry value must be the key path of a component.
