Local fix

Problem summary


    

  • The problem was that the code always called expand when
reading registry of type REG_EXPAND_SZ. Then writing back
the type was set to a constant, by default REG_SZ.
The JNI method was modified to take additional boolean
requesting to expand or not expand the value. Additional
interface was added to check the type of the property. The
write method uses this new interface to keep the type when
updating the value.

    



Problem conclusion


    

  • Fix delivered in Installation Manager V1.1.0.2
