 | Hi,
I have to create/change some registry entries with the same Subkey part,
i.e.:
Root: HKLM; Subkey: "Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI\MyODBC";
Root: HKLM; Subkey: "Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI\ODBC Data Sources"; ValueType:
string; ValueName: "MyODBC"; ValueData: "SQL Server"
Root: HKLM; Subkey: "Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI\MyODBC"; ValueType: string;
ValueName: "Driver"; ValueData: "C:\WINNT\System32\SQLSRV32.dll"
....
Sometimes later I'll have to redefine the Subkey. Is it possible somehow
to declare (not in code) the User-Defined Constant and to use then in
other sections (not in Code) ?
Smth. like:
{a:MyODBC}
and then use it liike:
[Registry]
Root: HKLM; Subkey: "Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI\{a}";
Root: HKLM; Subkey: "Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI\ODBC Data Sources"; ValueType:
string; ValueName: "{a}"; ValueData: "SQL Server"
Root: HKLM; Subkey: "Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI\{a}"; ValueType: string;
ValueName: "Driver"; ValueData: "C:\WINNT\System32\SQLSRV32.dll"
It would be really helpful also in big .iss files, if one value is to see
in many places and the .iss file has often to be tuned or adjusted.
Thanks in advance,
flocken

| Use ISPP (Inno Setup Pre-Processor) for this. It comes bundled with the
QuickStart Pack downloads.
http://files.jrsoftware.org/ispack/
#define a "MyOBCD"
[Registry]
Root: HKLM; Subkey: "Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI\{#a}
