Thanks Dan Is there a standardized way to read or write into windows registry. I tried hard to get details but was not successful
this is what i know
var wine= Components.classes["@mozilla.org/browser/shell-service;1"].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIWindowsShellService);
var registryentry=wine.getRegistryEntry()
do you where i can find the exact list of parameters i need to pass to getRegistryEntry and what those mean?

That interface apparently only reads from the registry, and strings only at that.
Is this the standard way?
This thread started out about install.js, is that still involved here? Components.classes is not available in the install script. On the positive side install.js has a much more robust set of windows registry manipulations.

That documentation is old, roughly Netscape 6.x era. There are additional functions keyExists, valueExists, isKeyWritable, enumKeys, and enumValueNames. If you need them you can work out the arguments from the source: http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/xpinstall/src/nsJSWinReg.cpp#740
Remember, this is only for install.js scripts, chrome apps themselves apparently don't support all this. (Probably wasn't needed, so no one wrote it.)
