[wpkg-users] populate variable value from registry

[Paul McGrath]

Just to add.  I tested this on Win7 32bit and 64 bit was well as Windows XP and it worked correctly on all of them.

You bit from the log shows:
 /D="C:\Archivos de programa\maxima"

The directory options is NOT '/D' .  It is /DIR
THIS IS WRONG.  I wrote:
The switch for an alternative directory is /DIR="%PROGRAMFILES(X86)%\maxima\"

You are welcome!

Thanks Paul!

That's exactly what i have executed,  indeed the expanded command from
the WPKG Log is (as is, in spanish):

"\\capibara\repositorio\software\academico\maxima
\maxima-5.28.0-2.exe" /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /D="C:\Archivos de
programa\maxima" /MERGETASKS=!desktopicon /LANG=es


I'm testing on a WinXP 32bit VM and it is not working reliable, it seems
to fail on some point and silently choose de default install dir with
this version. You can see that i am using that command in the previously
posted package definition.

That's why i tough to save the install dir on a registry value (wich was
my question).


Thanks!
