[resolve] Little problem with nsis
Hie all,

I'have one little problem, on my script i can't verify if a software is already installed. By example, i want to check if the computer already had MySQL whith this:

IfFileExists $HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\EMS\MySQL Manager
MessageBox MB_OK "Mysql is already installed"
return

ExecWait '"INSTDIR\Sql_Express.exe"'


But that don't word and say :
Could'nt resolve Manager in section MySql

Have a nice day

P.S. : Excuse my english, i'am french

You can not use IfFileExists to read from the registry

try:

!include LogicLib.nsh
ReadRegStr $0 HKCU "Software\EMS\MySQL Manager"
${IF} $0 != ""
  #do something
${EndIf}
