Re: [WiX-users] RegistrySearch: remove #

[Neil S. <ne...@x2...>]

Actually it is much simpler than that, I want to read the SQL port
number from the registry and then open it in the firewall but to do the
write I need the number without the hash.

I'm guessing the reason you want this is so that you can do numeric
comparisons on a DWORD value in a condition?

You could write a CA to adjust the property, but what I did when I
wanted to write conditions on a DWORD read out of the registry is to
just treat it as a string comparison.  This may or may not be feasible
in your case; in my case I only had to do equality comparisons for a
small number of values.
