MSI Installer w/ Registry Entries...

[mlager]

Hi,

I've got a simple MSI installer for my VB.Net WinForms application and I have it set to insert a single registry key into the computer's HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE node. This usually works, but if the user doesn't have access, the MSI spits out an error. Is there any way in the MSI installer to quietly error out in this case? The existence of the registry key is not absolutely critical to the application. If not, I may have to change the creation of this key to within the application itself. Thanks for any advice!

You need to put some error handling code in your installer:
