Adelle/Matt Many thanks for the replies
I figured that a .reg file was a bit crude :-) This is typical of what I am adding,,,,, ============================================================================ ==== [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ALGOR, Inc.\ALGOR Software\ALGOR\Third Party Results\.fat1] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ALGOR, Inc.\ALGOR Software\ALGOR\Third Party Results\.fat1\OCXComponent] "Internal Name"=".fat1_OCXComponent" "Byte Offset"=dword:00000000 "Type"=dword:00000001 "Unit"="" "External Name"="Log10 life (cycles)" "Flags"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ALGOR, Inc.\ALGOR Software\ALGOR\Third Party Results\.fat1\OCYComponent] "Internal Name"=".fat1_OCYComponent" "Byte Offset"=dword:00000008 "Type"=dword:00000001 "Unit"="" "External Name"="life (cycles)" "Flags"=dword:00000001 ============================================================================ ==== This is all hardcoded stuff - i.e its basically a text dump. I use Inno setup and it appears that I can do what I want with that. It will also remove the reg items upon removal. Just not sure how to do it at the moment. Anyone have an inno script example they could share???? I guess I just need to put some time in to learn how to do it ---- I was being lazy, because its sooooo tempting to just run the .reg file :-) Julian -----Original Message----- From: Unicorn.PC.Support [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 27 August 2004 13:19 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [vbhelp] Registry file silent run? Julian, What sort of things are you wanting to put into the registry? Depending on what you need to put into the registry, the method varies a little. Use of a .Reg file is poor form. You should avoid it if you can, if the application is uninstalled your updates from the Reg file will not be removed. Using Reg files is one of the worst offenders for registry bloat.
