Registry settings for MS Access

[CostumeInv4345]

Hi. I have moved to Setup Factory from another installer. In the past I could set up a Registry edit to turn off the VBA warnings in MS Access. I don't seem to have something right now as it won't write to the registry with the code I'm using. If I delete the registry line for MS Access Security and run the installer it does not create or set it.

Any suggestions? This was pasted from the Pre-Intall Actions. It is line 01, and 02

Registry.CreateKey(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\Microsoft\Office\12\Access\Security" );
Registry.SetValue(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\Microsoft\Office\12\Access\Security" , "VBAWarnings", "1", REG_DWORD);

You need to escape backslashes. This is mentioned many times in these forums, and you can also find this in the documentation and example code. Please see Scripting Guide > Variables > Types and Values > String.

Registry.CreateKey(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software[b][highlight]\[/highlight]\[/b]Microsoft[b][highlight]\[/highlight]\[/b]Office[b][highlight]\[/highlight]\[/b]12[b][highlight]\[/highlight]\[/b]Access[b][highlight]\[/highlight]\[/b]Security" );
Registry.SetValue(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software[b][highlight]\[/highlight]\[/b]Microsoft[b][highlight]\[/highlight]\[/b]Office[b][highlight]\[/highlight]\[/b]12[b][highlight]\[/highlight]\[/b]Access[b][highlight]\[/highlight]\[/b]Security" , "VBAWarnings", "1", REG_DWORD);

Thanks

Thanks. I had tried adding the extra backslashes to the first part but from the example I looked at I didn't realize I needed them each time there was a backslash. Thanks for the link to the Scripting Guide.
