Registry Value Dialog In this dialog you can edit the properties of a new registry value or change the properties of an already existing one.

Name

The name of the registry value. To create or modify the default value for the current registry key, leave this field empty.

TipThis field can contain %AppName% and %Provider% references which will be resolved at build time to the Product Name and Company Name you have set in the Product Details page.

NoteAdditionally, you can specify %InstallDir% and %CEn% Directory Macros in this field, which will be resolved at install-time to the corresponding folders on the device (namely, the Installation Folder selected by the user and the standard directories for the device). This automatic translation is performed only if the option “Do not translate registry value name and data” is left unchecked (default value).

Type

The possible types for a registry value are: string (REG_SZ or REG_MULTI_SZ), integer (REG_DWORD) and binary (REG_BINARY). In order to define a REG_MULTI_SZ value, enter the strings that compose that value one per-line.

Flags

Overwrite any existing registry value

Select this option in order to overwrite a registry value that already exists.

Do not translate registry value name and data

Select this option in order to prevent the install-time translation of %InstallDir% and %CEn% Directory Macros, if they are present in the registry value name and/or data. Note that this translation does not affect %AppName% and %Provider% references, which are always resolved at build time.

Data

The data (content) of the registry value.

TipIf the type of the registry value is REG_SZ or REG_MULTI_SZ, you can include %AppName% and %Provider% references which will be resolved at build time. Similarly to the registry value name, you can also specify %InstallDir% and %CEn% Directory Macros in this field.
