I want to set values in the registry but only if they are not already set. So
on an upgrade I dont verwrite the settings the user already has set

I tried

Launch condition REG1=HKLM/Software/Acme/regval1

and the said on the regval1 regsitry value condition = REG1=""

The reg key gets set on first install (good) because REG1==""
The reg key gets removed on second install (bad) because REG1!=""

paul,

Check out this MSDN article on adding a registry launch condition:

Hope this helps,

Thx for the input , but it doesnt really help.
It describes how to setup the launch condition - which I already did; based
on that article

Paul,

For each key and folder in the setup project registry editor, you can
specify a condition.
