Inheritance of Isolation Options in the Registry

InstallShield 2022 » Microsoft App-V Assistant

Edition:The Microsoft App-V Assistant is included in the Premier Edition of InstallShield.

Isolation options for registry keys are always inherited. The isolation environment will apply the most specific reference to that resource.

For example, suppose you have an isolation option for the Microsoft registry key and one for Microsoft\Windows registry key. When the application requests Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion, then the Microsoft\Windows isolation rule will be applied because Microsoft\Windows is a more specific reference to Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion than is Microsoft.
