Adding to the Registry during install

[RRRRSSSS]

I need to add this registry entry with the Labview installer

For a default FTDI device ID (VID 0x0403, PID 0x6001), add the following registry REG_BINARY value set to 01

at

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\UsbFlags\IgnoreHWSerNum04036001

the installer has a place to do it but does not support binary only string & Dword

using LabVIEW 2011 on XP & Windows 7

I know the risks of playing with the registry..

Hi RRRRSSSS,

If the installer does not give you what you require, my suggestion would be to create a VI using the Windows Registry Access VIs.  You could then create an executable, and add it to your installer to run after installation.

This is just a suggestion, the registry is a dangerous place - take care

I built the write registy.vi and created an exe for it.

I already have an exe I need to run so I created a .bat file to run both of them which will be called after installation.

I'm having an issue with the write Registry.exe showing up in the "source file Settings " is shows up as a folder.

When I do a preview it the write registry.exe does not show up in the preview list, the .ini and the .alias show up and the other .exe shows up.

What am I doing wrong??

Hi RRRRSSSS,

Are you able to see the .exe in the Additional Installers section? Does it show up if you move it out of the Write Registry.exe folder?

The write registry.exe is not a folder its and exe, Labview is showing it as a folder..

I have it figured ..
