Setting Key Paths for Components
InstallShield 2013
Project: This information applies to the following project types:
A key path is a unique registry value for each component that the Windows Installer uses to detect the component’s presence. This value must contain a file or a folder.
To set a component’s key path:
|
1.
|
In the View List under System Configuration, click Registry. |
|
2.
|
In the Destination computer’s Registry view pane, click the registry entry that contains the registry data that you want to use for the key path. |
|
3.
|
In the Destination computer’s registry data pane, right-click the registry key’s value name and then click Set Key Path. |
The value’s string, binary, or DWORD icon is replaced with a key icon.
To remove a component’s key path:
Right-click the key path and click Clear Key path.
Note: A component can have either one key path or one key file. If you have already set a key file or a key path for a component, you will get a warning prompt if you try to set another key path. Click Yes in the dialog box to replace the existing key file or key path with the new key path.
