Repair removes registry value

Hi,
I have a registry key that is poopulated with a textbox property from
the installer. When I do a repair the registry key remains but the value is
set to blank. How do I have the installer remember the value that was
entered during the install?

Thanks,
Jonathan

Try addng a Search Target Machine to set the property value - that gets
called when the installation launches, repair or normal. In the original
installl it won't be there (or the user will change the value if it is) and
in the repair case it will restore the value it got from the search.

Thanks,
That worked when I assigned my search condition variable as the default
value of my textbox.
