Disable AutoPlay Menu after software install.

[Terry Vance]

I need to disable AutoPlay Menu after software is installed. I've read the old posts and can't get it to work.
Obviously I'm doing something wrong. I've created a MODIFY REGISTRY action on a Mouse Click event (the Install button), and a READ FROM REGISTRY on PROJECT STARTUP.
Please explain this again.
After I get this working, I need to add a Mouse Click event to delete the key to allow the customer to reset, if needed.
TIA,
Terry

Hi,

Perhaps you could explain (in detail) what you wish to accomplish and the steps that you have taken so far in order do so.

Outlining the actions that you have used and the parameters that you are using always contains useful information. Also try outlining what happens when you run your Menu, what gets written into the registry? What was in the registry in the beginning?

Sorry if I was vague. I was tired and tend to get too wordy at times.
We have a CD that will have an installer created with Setup Factory.
On the Auto Play Menu there is a button linked to the installer.
At this point, we would like the Auto Play Menu to be disabled on subsequent CD use.
Or even BETTER - disabled on successful completion of the installer.

I have read.....
Topic: Can you turn off AutoRun after the first time?
and
Topic: Prevent Autoplay from loading more than once?

And have tried various combinations on the theme, but I guess I'm missing the concept.
Currently I have....

1)Project Startup - Read from Registry.
Name = %RegVar%
Default = FALSE
Main Key = HKCR
Sub Key = AccessLaw
Value Name = Viewed
Type = REG_SZ
True if Exists = checked (tried unchecked also, but no go)

2)Text Object on Mouse Click (install) - Modify Registry
Action = Create Key
Main Key = HKCR
Sub Key = AccessLaw
Name = Viewed
Type = REG_SZ
Action = Overwrite

3)Text Object on Mouse Click (enable AutoPlay) - Modify Registry
Action = Delete Key
Main Key = HKCR
Sub Key = AccessLaw
Name = Viewed
Type = REG_SZ
Action = Overwrite

When install is clicked it writes the following....
Reg export = [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AccessLaw]
When Enable AutoPlay is clicked it deletes it.
Viewing from within Regedit....
Name = (Default)
Type = REG_SZ
Data = (value not set)

To test the compilation I created a test.iso with WinISO and mounted the image with Daemon Tools. It autoplays every time, regardless of the existance of the Reg Key.

I hope that this is enough to go on, if not I'll gladly explain more.
TIA,
Terry
