Issue/Introduction

Error: "No matching % for a variable name."

Cause

Has a percentage before a string within the registry key value.

Resolution

Need to pre-append another percentage in front of the existing percentage.

For example, let's compare registry key values to demonstrate:

%Test  ~ Will not allow you to compile
%%Test ~ Will allow you to compile

It will only install %Test on the box. The extra percentage is to notify Wise Installer that the % is not intended to reference a variable.

Note: This behavior will happen in registry keys, INI file, Insert Line in text file, Display Message, Custom Dialogs or in any location where a variable can be referenced.
