This action adds, edits, or deletes registry keys or values. You can create registry entries
manually or import a registry file (.REG).
In WiseScript Package Editor, use the Registry page to copy registry settings from your
computer's registry.
When a WiseScript is called by a Windows Installer installation, you also can edit the
registry on the Features or Components tabs of Setup Editor in Windows Installer Editor.
Note
When a WiseScript is called by a Windows Installer installation, the Windows Installer
installation does not recognize changes that the WiseScript makes to the destination
computer and will not uninstall them. Therefore, you must provide a way to uninstall or
repair such changes. See Uninstalling Changes Made by a WiseScript in the Windows
Installer Editor Help.

When you add a key, you are not necessarily adding it to the registry on the
destination computer. If the key already exists, this action might add a value to it,
update it, or delete it and all its associated values.
Delete Key
Removes the selected key from the current installation. This does not remove it
from the destination computer. To do that, you must change the Operation field in
the key's details dialog box.
New Value
To add a new value, select the parent key in Registry Keys, then click the New
Value button. A dialog box appears, where you enter information about the new
value.
