If you are distributing a custom tag, you may want to automatically register the custom
tag during the setup process by writing the registration entries directly into the
Registry. The location, key, and value names to write are as follows:

You can create a file containing this information by using the Regedit utility to export
the registry entry from a machine on which the custom tag is already installed.

regedit utility (in the bin) performs the same function on UNIX.
