i'd like to make some changes in the registry by calling a reg file, i'd like to know how to load the inormations contained in this reg file... and make the changes in the registry...

thanks

If you are using IPWI you can import the .reg file into your setup project.

If you want to merge it at runtime, you can call regedit in a custom action.

what i've done is...:

function ProcessAfterDataMove()
   STRING szReferenceFile;

begin

LaunchAppAndWait(WINDIR ^ "Regedit.exe" ,TARGETDIR ^ "cnf\\config.reg" ,NOWAIT );

but i have a error message showed by Registry editor ( in 4 Message Boxs) telling me the file can't be imported...

Maybe you created the reg file on a different operating system version? They are slightly difefrent (the first line in the .reg file tells you the reg file version)

Are you using Windows Instalelr or InstallShield 5 or 6?

And you created the .reg file on NT4 and are testing on NT4?
Are you logged on as administrotor?
