If no entry > attribute is provided, the key is created/deleted. <writeregistry>: - what do you do if an empty "entry" is provided (an empty string is set in the build file) and no value is set ? Should we then clear the default value of the specified key, or do you just try to create the key ? - what if no entry is set (attribute not specified in build file), but a value is set ? Do you then report a build error, or do you set the default value of the specified key ? <deleteregistry>: - we should not allow an empty string (StringValidator(AllowEmpty=false)) here as the default value cannot be removed > We can of course go for only one hive, because it makes it easier to cope with when user > can access, for example, only one of the hives he/she has specified. Yeah, sure. we can always relax it later. I have no problem with adding the <writeregistry> and <deleteregistry> tasks to NAntContrib, but for the NAnt distribution I'd prefer something like the <registry> task: <registry hive="..." key="..."> <read property=".." entry="..." /> <write [entry="..." value="..."] /> <delete [entry="..."]" /> </registry> where each child element can be repeated a number of times.
