FILE PATH2

[dan37_123]

Hi i have a simple problem:
i need to first scan for a program say;
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\DANIEL

if it exists i have to install my program to c:\daniel\INSTALL HERE

if the path does not exist i have to install it to :
c:\daniel\va\installhere

any help would be appreciated.

thanks a lot pit for earlier help.

ps: thanks lorne for solving my first part,i could read from the reg and set the path as you said. But if it does not existing i have to install to a predefined directory.
I am a **** NEWBIE. hope u wont mind about my stupid question.

Re: FILE PATH2

When you say path, are you talking about the path to the file in the file system ("on the hard drive"), or the path to a subkey in the Registry?

I'm not sure I understand your situation completely, but...you can set the default value for the Read from Registry action to any path you want.

For example, to have your %MyInstallPath% variable (or whatever) default to "C:\daniel\va\installhere", you could replace the word "Default" in the Default value field of the Read from Registry action with "C:\daniel\va\installhere".
