Description:
On Windows 95 systems, default registry types must be of the REG_SZ type. This ICE will tell you if there is a default registry entry that is not a REG_SZ type.
Concerns:
If any of your target systems are running Windows 95, this type of default registry value is not supported and should be corrected. If you don't have any Windows 95 clients in your environment, you can safely ignore this ICE.
Additional Information:
Error Information: Reg Entry 'registry676' is not of type REG_SZ. Default types must be REG_SZ on Win95 Systems. Make sure the component is conditionalized to never be installed on Win95 machines.
Explanation: As the warning indicates, in case of Windows 95 the ‘(Default)’ value of a registry entry must be of type REG_SZ (string value).
Solution: Add a condition to the component (Version9X >= 410) to make sure that this can never be installed on Windows 95. It goes without saying in case of a complete MSI that this condition can be registered via “System Requirements” in Wise Package Studio (entry in table “Launchcondition”).
