Registry Entries writing REG_SZ instead of REG_DWORD (FIXED)

Greetings,

I have 3.0.0

I’m finding that an installer I’ve made is not writing the proper data type in the registry. It is happening in both my 32 bit as well as my 64 bit builds.

–
I ask for:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system
shutdownwithoutlogon
REG_DWORD
1

I get:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system
shutdownwithoutlogon
REG_SZ
1​

I ask for:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Setup\10.0
DoNotAllowIE10
REG_DWORD
1

I get:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Setup\10.0
DoNotAllowIE10
REG_SZ
1​

I’ve confirmed the setting are correct in the Paquet Builder.

This worked with the v2.9.6 I was using before.

Thanks,

Arek

Are you using custom actions or the Registry entries page?
If you are using custom actions, they must be updated manually: edit your registry custom actions and refresh them.

Greetings GDGSupport,

I’m using the Registry Entries page.

Please edit each registry entry, choose the correct type REG_DWORD and save. PB3 now offers more registry entry types, and unfortunately, it requires you to choose the new type. Please check if it works.

Greetings,

Beautiful, looks like that did it. Thanks for your help.

Do you know of any other problems like that when upgrading the older files to the new version?

Thanks,

Arek

Thanks for the follow-up.
Some custom actions are not compatible like Ask User. See the news page: http://www.installpackbuilder.com/news (Compatibility issues).
We’re adding more info as soon as we get feedback from users.

Greetings,

I’ll go through there, thanks.

Take care, and thanks again for your help.
