Alex, useful post but could you explain the prepending .. bit, I am not sure what this was for.

Sorry, the idea was that to add integer 2 to registry value we need to add prefix '#' to it. So, writing <RegistryValue Type="string" Value="#2" ... /> will actually create registry value of type REG_DWORD with value 2. Description for RegLocator is saying that REG_DWORD value 2 will be represented during AppSearch as string value "#2" in property. Because I wanted to show actual string read from registry during AppSearch, I prepended it with ".." so during writing this value to registry it will be treated as string, not as REG_DWORD.

I think, I need to clarify it little bit better. I'll think about it tomorrow.

Thanks,

Alex
