InstallShield enables you to import any existing registry (.reg) files that you may have from other installation projects or that you have created outside InstallShield

To import a .reg file:

1. Launch the Import REG File Wizard.
2. Follow the instructions in the wizard panels to import your .reg file.

When you import a .reg file into a component or registry set, that registry data is added to the component’s or registry set’s registry data and written to the end user’s system if the component or registry set is installed.
