The product registry is essentially a product configuration database that keeps track of features and components of products and accomplishes tasks such as associating file name extensions with applications. Proper use of product codes and versions are essential to the operation of the registry in the future—for example, the use of the Find Component in InstallAnywhere Registry action.
InstallAnywhere finds the locations of components in the registry by checking the product code. To make reliable use of the Find Component in InstallAnywhere Registry action, you must enter the product code and version correctly.
The product registry stores the information that is configured in the General Settings view on the Project page. The location of the registry depends on the platform to which you are installing.

Note • It is useful to keep the vendor ID the same for all the products from a single organization, but it is not required. Keeping a common vendor ID enables you to identify all of your organization's products that are installed on a target machine.
