Modifying Registry Value Data
InstallShield 2020 Express Edition
To modify the data for a registry value:
| 1. | In the View List under Configure the Target System, click Registry. |
| 2. | In the Feature list, select the feature that contains the registry data that you want to modify. |
| 3. | In the Destination computer’s registry data pane, double-click the value that you want to modify. The Edit Data dialog box or the Multi-Line String Value dialog box opens. |
| 4. | Complete the information in the dialog box, and then click OK. |
Windows Installer properties can be used in your registry value to store information for later use by your product. For example, if you want to store the destination location of your software, enter [INSTALLDIR] for your registry value. For more information, see Windows Installer Property Reference.
Note:To add a value 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, use [\[]stuff[\]] as the value name.
