Basics about what Registry entries are necessary

[lborok]

Sorry for these basic questions but this is my first MSI package and I'm installing the client portion of a client/server application. It is a simple environment, with only one directory (and no subdirectories) with an executable (.exe) file and about 50 DLLs. I do not know much about the use of the Registry. What files in the installed directory need to be registered, which part of the Registry would be used, and what other Registry entries are needed for the client application? If someone could walk me through the steps that would be fantastic.

Thank you for your help.

Only the client application knows what registry entries it required. You need to contact your provider for each DLL and find out the registry keys they use.

The generic registry keys for application and components are set automatically by Windows Installer.
