Tallow isn't intended to be used in an automated build system like you're doing. Tallow is intended to be used to bootstrap the authoring process then you can modify the contents as needed. So, you'll have to do more work if you want to add a registry key to one of the generated Components. Or you could just put the registry keys in new Components.
It also appears that tallow's reg functionality just converts the .reg file into Registry elements. Those would need to be broken up into appropriate Component elements. mscheuner wrote: > Folks, > > I use WiX to build my MSI in an automated build environment.
