Project Installer Does not maintain Registry value if tag already exists

[Rubenske1]

Looking to "update" registry keys upon running installer if keys already exist. 

When creating installer, local machine keys can be created and unlocked as seen below.

This allows an application to read and write these specific local machine keys without administrator rights.

However, when the installer runs and the keys ready exist/are filled, the keys are cleared. 

Is there any way to maintain the original key value if they already exist? 

Looking for either a VI/EXE to run after the installer to rectify the values, or a solution as per below link to only create non-existing registry keys.

Maybe I should elaborate.

When deploying a installer, it will create registry key upon installation.

If these keys already exist, however, the keys will be overwritten instead of skipped.

Is there a way for the installer to skip the registry keys if they already exist, so leaving the current key value in tact?

Either by altering the installer or by running a VI upon installation.

Thanks for your reply!

So it appears that it is impossible to achieve the result I require with the build-in installer (creator) of labVIEW.

Case Closed!
