Chapter 9: Converting Windows Installer Packages to Virtual Applications
Description
The ID attribute is always used for binding. Binding allows you to reference an object
from another object. You can bind together File, Registry, Shortcut, and Message text.
For example, if you wanted to create a shortcut to a file, you would use the ID attribute to
identify the file, and then obtain the shortcut for that file (the full path and file name).
The ID attribute is not required.
Note • You should not use an ID attribute unless you are going to bind to it because it adds overhead
to the conversion process.
The hive attribute is the C++ constant name of the registry hive. Most likely, the hive
would be one of the following:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA
HKEY_PERFORMANCE_NLSTEXT
HKEY_PERFORMANCE_TEXT
HKEY_USERS
The key attribute is the Registry key name, delimited by back slashes. For example:
