Import reg Keys (*)

[priyas]

A query regarding the importing reg keys in the Installshield. The reg file contains one key value to be deleted and other to remain as it is after deployment.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Workshare\Options\7.00\Protect\ProtectAdmin]
"AllowUserToOverridePDFSetting"="False"
"DisplayAdvancedOptions"=-

I just want to impot the reg file into installshield , where I have to keep one of the key value and delete the other key value pair, which has - sign.

When I import the reg file , it gives me an error saying as invalid registry key.

Please advise.

I guess that InstallShield doesn't support the "delete" entry in .reg files.

I have to correct myself (thanks to https://twitter.com/#!/installtips/status/167990596819103745 for the reminder): you can add a row to the RemoveRegistry table in DirectEditor to delete a registry entry during installation.
