How to read registry HKCU for logged In user from Inno Setup installer running as administrator -


my setup set run lowest privileges

privilegesrequired=lowest

but i'm executing setup admin (right click-> run admin, enter admin credential in uac), , want check logged in user's registry in initializesetup()

function initializesetup(): boolean; begin   if regquerystringvalue(hkcu,'software\{some path}','version', {some value})   begin      { here }   end end

but checks registry value admin account, not logged in user account

is there way check logged in users registry @ point?

first, should not try access user environment installer running administrator privileges. that's wrong.

for general discussion on topic, see:
installing application logged in user inno setup installer running administrator.

anyway, can use function below.

the code combines these solutions:

function reqqueryvalueoforiginaluser(var resultstr: string): boolean; var   uniq: string;   tempfilename: string;   cmd: string;   key: string;   value: string;   params: string;   lines: tarrayofstring;   buf: string;   resultcode: integer;   p: integer; begin   log('querying registry value of original user');   uniq := extractfilename(expandconstant('{tmp}'));   tempfilename :=     expandconstant(format('{commondocs}\appdata-%s.txt', [uniq]));   cmd := expandconstant('{cmd}');   key := 'hkey_current_user\software\{some path}';   value := 'version';   params := format('/c reg.exe query "%s" /v "%s" > "%s"', [key, value, tempfilename]);   result := false;   if execasoriginaluser(cmd, params, '', sw_hide, ewwaituntilterminated, resultcode)      , (resultcode = 0)   begin     if loadstringsfromfile(tempfilename, lines)     begin       if (length(lines[0]) > 0) or          (lines[1] <> key)       begin         log(format('unexpected output of reg.exe query: "%s" - "%s"', [           lines[0], lines[1]]));       end         else       begin         buf := trim(lines[2]);         if copy(buf, 1, length(value)) <> value         begin           log(format('unexpected output of value query: "%s"', [buf]));         end           else         begin           buf := trim(copy(buf, length(value) + 1, length(buf) - length(value)));           p := pos(' ', buf);           if p = 0           begin             log(format('cannot find type , value separator in "%s"', [buf]));           end             else           begin             resultstr := trim(copy(buf, p + 1, length(buf) - p));             log(format('value "%s"', [resultstr]));             result := true;           end;         end;       end;     end       else     begin       log(format('error reading %s', [tempfilename]));     end;     deletefile(tempfilename);   end     else   begin     log('error querying registry key of original user');   end;    result := true; end;
