Source Computer View
The Source view, located at the top, displays the registry entries on the administrator’s computer.
Destination Computer View
The Destination view represents the registry entries on the target machine for the installation. By default, the
Destination view contains the following read-only registry hives: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, HKEY_CURRENT_USER,
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, HKEY_USERS, and HKEY_USER_SELECTABLE.
You can use the Registry view to:
•
Create registry keys and values. You can do this using the same procedure you use to create registry keys and
values in the Windows Registry Editor, or you can copy or drag and drop existing keys and values from the
Source view to the Destination view.
•
Import an existing REG file using the
Import REG File Wizard
.
•
Modify or delete registry keys that are part of the base installation. If you add new registry keys, they will
always be installed.
Setting Registry Key Options
You must be cautious when creating new registry keys so adverse results do not occur. You must specify whether
the key is to be created at install, removed at uninstall, or both. These mutually exclusive options are available by
right-clicking on a key.
Shortcuts View
The Shortcuts view offers an integrated, visual method for adding shortcuts and program folders to the installation.
Existing shortcuts can also be modified or removed. For information on how to use the Shortcuts view to create,
edit, or remove shortcuts, refer to one of the following topics:

Registry Key Options
Option
Description
Create Key at Install
Creates the new registry key during installation if the key does not exist on the target
machine.
Delete Key at
Uninstall
Deletes the registry key during uninstallation, regardless of whether the key existed
prior to the MSI’s installation. This means that the key, and all its contents and sub-
keys, will be removed regardless of whether other software information that is
unrelated to this MSI exists. This can have a severe impact on other programs; only
select this option if you are sure that the only software affected is the base MSI.
Both Create and
Delete
Both of the above scenarios will occur.
