Configuring General Registry Settings
Windows Installer Editor Reference
To import a registry file
1.
Do one of the following:
Select Installation Expert > Registry page.
a. From Current Feature, select a feature or condition. (Because any item
you add must be assigned to a specific feature, you cannot add an item
when All Features is selected.)
Items that you add to a feature are installed on the destination computer
only if the feature is installed. Items that you add to a condition are installed
only if the feature is installed and the condition is true.
b. In a 64-bit installation, right-click in the lower-left list box and select 32-bit
View or 64-bit View.
c. Click Add at the lower left of the Registry page and select Import.
In Setup Editor, on the Components or Features tab, right-click the Registry
icon or a registry folder and select Import from .REG File.
2.
On the dialog box that appears, specify a .REG file and click Open.
The contents of the selected registry file, along with all corresponding folders, are placed
in the appropriate root folder.
To export to a registry file
1.
Do one of the following:
Select Installation Expert > Registry page.
In the lower-left list box, right-click the key to export, and select Export to .REG
File. To export all keys that you have designated for the destination computer,
right-click the Destination Computer icon.
In Setup Editor, on the Components or Features tab, right-click the Registry
icon or a registry folder and select Export to .REG File.
The Export to .REG File dialog box appears.
2.
In File Name, specify the path of the registry file you are creating.
3.
In Export As, select the version of RegEdit that the registry file should be
compatible with.
Registration File (*.REG)
Export to a Unicode file format.
Win9x/NT 4 Registration File (*.REG)
Export to a flat text file format.
4.
Click OK.
The .REG file is saved in the location you specified. If the registry key you exported had
a property name surrounded by brackets, and that property is defined in the Property
table in the Windows Installer database, then the bracketed property name is replaced
with the local computer value of the property in the exported .REG file.
Use the Registry Details dialog box to set or edit the general registry key settings.
