colinmarney asked a question.
Using Installshield 2022 R2.
Is it possible to set a REG_QWORD value under a registry key? When using the "Installation Designer" they don't get displayed when looking at the "Source computer" registry so it looks like they are unsupported.
Are you sure you want to cancel the case creation?

Hi -
Its my understanding that Windows Installer does not support QWORD values in the registry table - hence why they are not displayed in Installshield.
We have a knowledge base article discussing this here:
https://community.revenera.com/s/InstallShield-Knowledge-Base/Support-for-QWORD-registry-values-and-InstallScript4535
In addition Microsoft's registry table details are here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/win32/msi/registry-table?redirectedfrom=MSDNI think the only solution here would be to create a custom action to create the QWORD entries.
(Be sure to add an uninstall custom action as well to clean them up).Thanks for the info. I have done a custom action as a work around.
I am surprised there is still no support for QWORDS if they were added to Windows 2000.
