Editing Registry(MSI Transform Editor)

The Registry tab of the MSI Transform Editor displays the MSI-based software’s regis­try root keys.

 

You can perform the following registry changes on the MSI-based software. To do this, execute the relevant context command:

• Create new key: New > Key
• Create a new value of type character string: New > Character String
  You can also specify MSI properties or MSI path names – in square brackets. Note that DSM variables are not supported. The maximum permitted length of a character string is 256.
• Create a new value of type DWORD: New > DWORD Value
  The DWORD value is displayed in decimal form and marked with a preceding #.

Added values can be deleted.

Using Special MSI Entries

In the registry window, the special key HKEY_USER_SELECTABLE is shown.
New keys and values that are added here will be processed according to the type of installation of the MSI-based software:
For the user installation type (ALLUSERS=0), these entries are added under HKEY_CURRENT_USER.  For the computer installation type (ALLUSERS=2), HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE is used.

The same goes for entries under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.
