Hi,
Can anyone let me know how to search a key value in registry using WIX?
I have to delete older driver in the registry using VID.I am writing
installer to do that.
So can anyone let me know how to use WIX to do that.
Thanks,
Shruthi

You don’t have that much flexibility in WiX. Is this a standalone
utility? If so, you’ll have to write code to do it. Which parts of the
registry are you trying to delete, and why do you believe you need to do so?

More specifically, do not touch anything under the enum key in your installer. That is private to the os

I have to remove the registry entries which contain VID and PID of the
device that was already installed earlier.This is required as the device is
not getting enumerated in the device manager.Once I manually deleted the
registry entries, the devcies(
USB CDCACM) got enumerated.Hence I would like to know if there is a way to
write code to cleanup registry entries.

Can it be enumerated by SetupAPI?

installer to do that.
So can anyone let me know how to use WIX to do that.
You might be better asking over at xxxxx@lists.sourceforge.net.
Have you looked at the RegistrySearch and util:RegistrySearch elements
to see if they’d work? If not then you might need to write a custom
action DLL.

So, you are installing a driver for a device that already has a previous
driver? You should be able to handle that by calling
UpdateDriverForPlugAndPlayDevices. Heed Doron: deleting in the Enum
tree is bad.

What you can do is: set DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1
then open the device manager, view hidden devices,
find and uninstall your devices.
The code equivalent of this is SetupDiGetClassDevs() without
DIGCF_PRESENT in flags.
It this won’t help… ask Mr. Roberts to share his registry cleaning tool?
