When my users upgrade my product, a registry value get overwritten by the default value in the installer. I have tried setting the 'ISRegistryComponent' properties 'Permenent' to yes and also 'Never Overwrite' to yes but it still gets over written. Also the 'Install Only +' option is never available on my registry key? I have browsed the forums and have tried several solutions. One option I have found is to set up properties and conditions but I really don't understand this. Can anyone help with a easy guide on how to prevent my registry key being over written during an upgrade?
I am using Installshield Spring 2012 - Professional Edition.
Can you tell me what sort of upgrade are you doing ?
Are you setting a key path for the Registry entry component?
If you set Never Overwrite setting for a component then the registry value will not be overwritten during upgrade. After minor upgrade you can check the log and it will have an entry "Disallowing installation of component: since the registry keypath exists and the component is marked to never overwrite existing installations"
Hello, I tried the below fix and it didn't work. Please suggest how to move forward. I am having same issues as user who posted this thread.
