Description

This property allows you to instruct the self-extracting zip file to add or change key values in the system registry. To specify a registry key to create, set this property to a string with the following format: "key" + "|" + "valuename" +"|" + "value".

• The key portion represents the registry key to add a value to. It can begin with HKCR, HKCU, HKLM, HKU, HKPD, HKDD or HKCC, or by the long version of each registry key root: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, HKEY_CURRENT_USER, etc. The 16-bit self-extractor module binary only supports HKCR and HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.

• The value name portion represents the name of the value to add. If this is left empty, then the "(default)" value will be added/changed.

• The value portion represents the value to set. If a number is specified, then the value will be set to number of type REG_DWORD. If a quoted string is specified, the value will be set to a string of type REG_SZ.

You can specify multiple registry keys by separating the "regkey|regvalue|value" string specification by a CR and/or LF character. Use the SfxAddRegistryKey method for easier, cleaner code.

Macros can be used.

The total length of the values of the SfxExecuteAfter, SfxFilesToCopy, SfxFilesToRegister and SfxRegistryKeys properties cannot exceed 2000 characters.
