Working with the Registry page
If the installation has multiple features, specify the feature you are configuring by
selecting it from the Current Feature drop-down list.
Use the right-click menu to expand or collapse directories, to hide or show empty
directories, and to view the 32-bit or 64-bit registry. The upper panes can display
the 32-bit or 64-bit registry, but the 64-bit registry is visible only when your
computer is running a 64-bit operating system. The lower panes can display the 64-
bit view on any computer, but only in projects with 64-bit features or releases.
Drag and drop keys and values on the Registry page, or use the following buttons:
Add Keys

the installation.
In a 64-bit installation, this button contains a menu that lets you specify
whether to add the key to the 32-bit or 64-bit registry.
Add Values
