#include "Ifx.h"


export prototype ExFn_RegDBGetItem(HWND);


function ExFn_RegDBGetItem(hMSI)

STRING svLogFile, svValue, szTitle;

begin


// Set the root key.

RegDBSetDefaultRoot (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE);


// Set installation and uninstallation information in

// order to call RegDBSetItem and RegDBGetItem.

InstallationInfo (COMPANY_NAME, PRODUCT_NAME, VERSION_NUMBER, PRODUCT_KEY);

DeinstallStart (APP_DEF_LOG_PATH, svLogFile, DEINST_KEY, 0);


// Set the value of the application path key in the

// registry to the value of szAppPath.

if (RegDBSetItem (REGDB_APPPATH, APP_PATH) < 0) then

MessageBox ("Unable to set application path key.", SEVERE);

else

SprintfBox (INFORMATION, TITLE, "RegDBSetItem set the application " +

endif;


// Set up title parameter for call to SprintfBox.

szTitle = "RegDBGetItem";


// Get the value of the application path key from the registry.

if (RegDBGetItem (REGDB_APPPATH, svValue) < 0) then

else

SprintfBox (INFORMATION, TITLE, "RegDBGetItem retrieved the value " +
