Hi rkc,

You have a couple syntax issues:

You properly escaped the “{”, but you need to enclose your test condition in your “if” statement in “{}”. Also, since you have “}” in an relevance substitution, you need to escape the close bracket too. One more thing is that you don’t need the “then” statement in the action language “if” command.

So your actions should look something like this:

if {exist key “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall{0C99E740-9387-4A8D-A761-BE5EA7DE570B}}” of registry}
wait cmd.exe
endif

When testing complicated examples like this, don’t forget about our new “Fixlet Debugger” that let’s you test actions: http://support.bigfix.com/fixlet/
