Adding Registry Keys
You can use Installation Expert or Setup Editor to add registry keys and values to any
registry folder or subfolder. You also can change settings for selected registry keys and
rename or delete files and folders. However, you cannot rename or delete a root folder.
In Installation Expert, the Registry page displays only the registry keys for the feature in
the Current Feature drop-down list. To display registry keys for all features, mark
View registry keys for all features on Registry page in Wise Options.
In Setup Editor, the Registry icon displays the registry keys and values that are included
in the selected feature or component.
To add an empty registry key:
1. Select Installation Expert > Registry page.
2. 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 you add to a feature are only installed on the destination computer if the
feature is installed. Items you add to a condition are only installed if the feature is
installed and the condition is true.
3. In the lower left list box, select the location for the key.
4. Click Add and select Key.
The Registry Details dialog appears.
5. From Operation, select Create empty key.
6. In Key, click at the end of the existing text, and add a backslash and the name of
the new key.
Example: Append \Preferences to the end of the existing key name.
7. Click OK.
To add a registry value in Installation Expert:
1. Select Installation Expert > Registry page.
