I  have a dll file which contain the icons. and i have a registry entry  "icon"  whose entry points to this dll file(like abc.dll,1).  but this dll file is going to be installed in the user specified path. but how do i change the value of registry entry "icon" so that it points to this dll file at his new path.

Put the Registry entry into the Registry Table.  In the Value field, use the directory name where the dll is going to be installed as the path name like this:

[MyDirectory]abc.dll,1

Where MyDirectory is a foreign key into the Directory Table.  Note that you don't need a backslash (\) because when the installer resolves the path it will include one automatically.  You should be able to use the same Directory that you use to install the Component.

Please send me an email if you have additional questions on this issue.
