How to export .reg file from an MSI Package?

Hi,

I have a MSI created using Advanced Installer for Outlook Add-In. One of our customer is requesting for MSI extracted files to repackage it with an internal installation tool. I tried extracting the MSI and all DLL, XML and config files are extracted without any problem. But customer needs the .reg file as well. Is there a way to extract this from MSI? Or do I need to create it manually?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Prasad,

We do not have support to export the registry entries from Advanced Installer. We have this improvement on our TODO list and it will be available in a future version of Advanced Installer.
Thank you for your suggestion.

So, to overcome this you will have to manually create the registry.

If you have other questions, please let us know.

Best regards,

It will be really cool if Advanced Installer supports this feature. I look forward for the same.
