The Win32 Registry String Comparison Product Bean Condition is a product bean condition that compares a Win32 Registry value to a specified string value stored in the compareValue property. This bean works with Win32 Registry values of various types by converting the value into a string then comparing it to the compareValue. The table below documents how values are converted to strings.

Note: This condition will never pass on non-Win32 machines.
