Registry values with & in WiX
I'm re-writing an old installer that no longer works on Windows 10 using WiX, and I'm running into a compilation error (candle.exe) with & in my registry keys.
The registry value is as follows:
<RegistryValue Root='HKCR' Name='' Key='Access.Application.10\shell\New' Type='string' Value='&New'/>
I tried escaping it with a backslash just for kicks, but I really don't know where I can go from here.
As you can see in the image below, the registry already has that very value stored, hence the confusion on the error.
Solution
