Problems writing registry entries
Hello,
I’m using the InstallShield Limited Edition in Visual Studio 2012 and trying to create a registry entry on the destination System.
A look in the log file states that it has made the registry entry but when I open regedit, I can’t see it.
Am I doing something wrong, or is this a known issue…?

Could you kindly let us know the registry entries that you have created in the InstallShield Limited Edition project.

Could you look for the registry entries under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node.

I was disappointed to see this thread stop because I'm having the same problem. I’ve checked both the main Software and Wow6432Node with no luck. Any other ideas? :confused:

Have you logged the installer and reviewed it?

Just did thanks. It appears that it doesn't have permission to write to the registry. How can I elevate permissions just for the installation?

It should have been automatic (project defaults). Hard to say without looking at your solution.

You say that the permission should be granted by default. We don't seem to be able to get our installation to work without being an admin. I just started another post about this. Can you give me some guidance on how to elevate privileges during install? Thanks.

Hello,
May be you have already tried this, if not, please right click on the setup.exe and select "run as administrator" and check if that helps.
