[Fixed] WackGet path replacement
[FileWrite2]
Type=Replace
File=%PAL:DataDir%\settings\WackGet.reg
Find=="%PAL:LastPortableAppsBaseDir:DoubleBackslash%
Replace=="%PAL:LastPortableAppsBaseDir:DoubleBackslash%

It would replace exactly what it found but it doesn't work anyway because of the ==

By Design

This is as designed because using the = as part of the replacement string is the only way to ensure it is unique for all paths.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Well I see what you mean

Well I see what you mean (although it's fine without the extra =") but Find & Replace are set to the same variable so it's definitely not working.

Ah

It's a worry without the = as when Base is the drive letter, it could replace other things in the file we don't want replaced. You're right on the other part, I'll get a fix out.
