Gathering user input info ?

[JhonDoe]

HI all,

Firstly great app i had built my own installer/un-installer/updater but i never did get around to figuring out how to add my apps to the add-remove programs list and also your does have the professional look & feel to it.

I was just wondering how you gather the user input data ? iv made a custom filed that requests the user to input where they heard of the software (one of my projects) and i dont see how to gather that info. Is this even possible ?

Thx all.

A custom info specified by user on the User Information -dialog is storde in <CustomUserInfo> variable.
You can write this info to Registry, INI file, etc.

I guess I am just a beginner, try to be programmer...
How do you write this info to Registry, INI file?
Can you point me in a direction to get specific help?
Thanks.
