Importing Registry Data from a .reg File
InstallShield 2023 Express Edition
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.
InstallShield can import .reg files created by exporting in Regedit, or files that follow that exact format. Note that InstallShield does not support multiline registry values.
To import registry data from a .reg file:
| 1. | In the View List under Configure the Target System, click Registry. |
| 2. | In the Feature list, select the feature into which you want to import the .reg file. |
| 3. | In the Destination computer’s Registry view pane, right-click the registry key under which you want your registry data added and then click Import REG File. The Registry Import Wizard opens. |
| 4. | Follow the directions in the Registry Import Wizard to add the registry data. |
When you add registry data to a feature, it is installed on the target system if the associated feature is installed.
