How to add registry entry conditionally

[josephine]

In my basic MSI project, I wish to install certain registry entries based on some property set by a custom action.
i.e. the entries are installed only if the property has a certain value.

The first way came to mind is to create some dummy component, associate the registry entries with it, and set some install condition to the dummy component.

Would this work? Is there any easier way to accomplish the task?

Thanks!

I think it's the best way but what exactly change between the registry entries? path, value or both?
