Searching for Registry Entries in a Project
InstallShield 2023
Project:This information applies to the following project types:
To search for a registry entry within a certain component (in Windows Installer projects) or registry set (in InstallScript projects):
|
1.
|
In the View List under System Configuration, click Registry. |
|
2.
|
In Basic MSI, DIM, InstallScript MSI, Merge Module, MSI Database, MSM Database, Transform, and QuickPatch projects—In the View Filter list, select the component that you would like to search. Note that if View All Entries is selected, the Registry view is read only. |
In InstallScript and InstallScript Object projects—Open the registry set that you would like to search.
|
3.
|
Right-click a registry entry and click Find. The Find dialog box opens. |
|
4.
|
Enter the string that you are searching for. |
|
5.
|
Click Find to start the search. |
In a Windows Installer project, InstallShield searches only the registry entries for the current component, not all the registry data for the project.
The search starts from the top item and works its way down, regardless of which item is selected. It stops at the first match, highlighting this key. To continue the search, right-click and select Find Next, or press F3. The Find Next feature finds the next match, moving down the explorer.
