To modify the data for a registry value to be created on the target system:

1.

In the View List under System Configuration, click Registry.

2.

In the Destination computer’s Registry view pane, click the registry key that has the value that you want to modify. All registry values are listed in the Destination computer’s registry data pane.

3.

Double-click the value that you want to modify. The Edit Registry Data dialog box or the Multi-Line String Value dialog box opens.

4.

Complete the information in the dialog box, and then click OK.

Project:In Basic MSI, DIM, InstallScript MSI, Merge Module, MSI Database, MSM Database, Transform, and QuickPatch projects—To add value data that contains square brackets ([]), you must precede each bracket with a backslash (\) and surround it with an opening and closing bracket. Otherwise, Windows Installer treats the value as a property. For example, if you wanted to write [stuff] to the registry, you would use [\[]stuff[\]] as the value data.
