The SetInstallationInfo function sets the values of the system variables IFX_COMPANY_NAME, IFX_PRODUCT_NAME, IFX_PRODUCT_VERSION, and IFX_PRODUCT_KEY. SetInstallationInfo specifies this information for use by CreateInstallationInfo, which in an event-based script is called in the default OnShowUI event handler code to create an application information key and a per application paths key for the program you are installing.
SetInstallationInfo is a special registry-related function, designed to work with certain predefined registry keys. For more information on special registry-related functions, see Special Registry-Related Functions.
Syntax
SetInstallationInfo ( szCompany, szProduct, szVersion, szProductKey );
Parameters
|
Parameter |
Description |
|
szCompany |
Specifies the company name. CreateInstallationInfo uses szCompany to create a \<company> key under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software key in the registry. |
|
szProduct |
Specifies the name of the product to be installed. CreateInstallationInfo uses szProduct to create a \<product> key under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\<company> key in the registry. The value in szProduct is also inserted into the first paragraph of message text in the Welcome dialog. |
|
szVersion |
Specifies the version number of the product. CreateInstallationInfo uses szVersion to create a \<version> key under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\<company>\<product> key in the registry. Together, the \<company> key (szCompany), the \<product> key (szProduct), and the \<version> key (szVersion) are referred to as the application information key. The application information key is created immediately upon calling CreateInstallationInfo. |
|
szProductKey |
Specifies the name of the application's main executable file. If your product uses several executables, specify the executable that best represents the product. CreateInstallationInfo uses szProductKey to create a per application paths key under the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths. The per application paths key is not actually created in the registry until you call RegDBSetItem to create a value name and value pair under the key. |
Return Values
