Reg keys not fully installing
I created a MSI using InstallShield 2008 Premier Edition
The program is simple: it has 6 files, 1 link, 1 service, 30 reg keys.
I have everything installing correctly except for the reg keys, it installs about 8 out of the 30 keys:eek: . I have tried the MSI on two system one fresh and one that is a test box both get the same set of keys installed. But if I look at the project it shows all the correct keys listed under the Registry in the System Configuration. Is there some thing i am missing?:confused:
System: Windows 2003 R2 Standard 64Bit fully patched
UPDATE: I use a .reg file to add the keys to InstallSheld, if i install the MSI with the half reg, and I run the .reg file after the program works.
Thanks,
Eric

Interesting. I have two thoughts:
1) Are you specifying that the target of this installer is a 64-bit OS?
2) Have you done a verbose log to see what is happening when the installer is supposed to be creating those keys?

I made some updates to my project,
I updated Template summary to include x64
I updated all installed components as 64-Bit Component
Seems that the reg keys are now getting added correctly.:)
Thanks jedimaster_mark seems that my problem maybe fixed 😄
