I created Registry Sets and assigned them to components when they were getting installed that it should write to the registry. Currently, it's only writing to software/.../Version

I have 5 different registry sets and it writes to them fine, but after a few minutes all of the registry values get sent to the first registry set I created.

So..

Registry Set 1
../Software/.../Set1Version

Registry Set 2
../Software/.../Set2Version

Registry Set 3
../Software/.../Set3Version

After a few minutes, it turns into

Registry Set 1
../Software/.../Set1Version
../Software/.../Set2Version
../Software/.../Set3Version

With the other two Registry Sets empty


What gives?

Does this happen in your project file? And it doesn't happen immediately but only if you wait (without doing anything) for a few minutes?

Yeah in the ISM file it is not working either. I guess I could edit it manually, but I find it weird that it does that...

I am trying to use variable values and folder names in the registry (ie. [MAX_VERSION]) and am not sure where to set these. I went to properties under install script and had functions brought up to edit their values. I figure changing their values pre install (ie OnBegin handler) will be sufficient but I haven't tested it yet.

If that's not supported in InstallScript projects, that could be another reason its broken. I know it works in MSI projects but their property tables are literally tables and not functions you have to declare pre install.

Thanks for replying
