Get / Put registry values

[NewsArchive]

Hello all,

I'll need to accomplish following with SB:

1. Check if a registry key exists
2. If yes, read the contents
3. Append a string to existing key value
4. Write back to registry

Can this be done with Setup Builder ?

Thanks

Hi Timo,

Sure - piece of cake with SetupBuilder.

Just look in the script editor side of things.

Use the Get Registry function to read your key into a script variable that
you have set.

Then you can use the IF statement to test if it has a value.

If so then you can use the Edit Registry function to update the entry and
in the data section just insert the variable that you have (which now holds
the existing data) and add whatever else you need to add.

Does that help?

Charles
