Problem I can't figure out...
Okay my problem is this:

I need to display a list of options on a page as check-boxes, but each check-box option must represent a registry value. So for example I am looking for 3 registry entries, e.g.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CompanyName\ProdOne
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CompanyName\ProdTwo
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CompanyName\ProdThree

But only the first and third exist, so on the page it would display.

- Apply install to 'ProdOne'
- Apply install to 'ProdThree'

I would then store the values of these registry entries to a variable depending on what had been selected which I would need later on.

If anyone's wondering why I need this I'm running a Perl script which takes the value of these registry entries, which is the path to an XML file, to change some values in the XML files to 'point to' and use the thing I'm installing.

Any help is appreciated, I'm really stuck on this :cry: and is the last thing I need to do for my installer. Thanks in advance!

You can use the InstallOptions plugin.
Just check for registry entries and create the .ini file for the installoptions plugin, then display the page.
Hope this helps
