Inno Setup: Directive or parameter "Check" expression error: Invalid symbol '.' found

At the top of my script I am defining a version number of a dependency for a program. 

#define ProductTestsVer "4.13.0.128"

I then use this identifier within the Files section in a Check function. 

Source: src\ff\ProductTests.exe; DestDir: {app}; Check: RegCheck('Software\FFNVNTest\ProductTests', {#ProductTestsVer});

I then attempt to use the same Check function within the Run section, leading to the follow error:

Directive or parameter "Check" expression error: Invalid symbol '.' found.

I assume that I'm either making a stupid mistake or that you simply can't use identifiers within the Run section, but I highly suspect it's the former.

Thank you.

I do not think you are right. That syntax cannot (and does not) work even in the [Files] section. Tested with the latest Inno Setup 5.5.9 (both Ansi and Unicode).

If you check a preprocessor output, you will see that your syntax resolves to:

RegCheck('Software\FFNVNTest\ProductTests', 4.13.0.128);

That is not valid Pascal Script code. You probably wanted:

RegCheck('Software\FFNVNTest\ProductTests', '4.13.0.128');

So you need to use:

RegCheck('Software\FFNVNTest\ProductTests', '{#ProductTestsVer}');
