Office 2003 Custom Installation Wizard: Adding a Registry Key Vari

R

Rob Moore

Could anyone tell me the syntax for adding a variable to the add/remove
registry entries step of the CIW?

We use %Date% %Time% entry for all applications:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\COMPANY NAME\DESKTOP\APPLICATIONS\APPNAME
VALUE=%DATE% %TIME%

In an MSI I would normally use [Date] [Time] which would then be translated
to the actual date and time of installation. When I try this I end up with
'[Date]' '[Time]' in the registry key.

Many thanks

Hi Rob,

Unfortunately, the CIW doesn't really support
environmental variables on its own.

It does work but it seems there is a problem with CIW and using [] for
variables - if you edit the transform with orca you can see that CIW creates
an entry like [/[ ]/] - if you delete the extraneous charaters and save the
transform from orca it works fine.
