Insert Reg File Err: Invalid registry file format

sticcino · 28th September 2007, 00:07

Hi,

i was add the reg settings for my app to the installer, so that a "default" layout will be available for the user, but recieve an error when importing it. Some of the settings do import, but the others do not.

Most of the settings are to do with "panel" layout and GUI stuff, so there is a lot of DWORD/HEX values in the registry that may be causing an issue.

I've include the .reg file renamed as a .txt file for reference.

i'm manully going thru the reg and adding "WriteRegDWORD" to each item and seeing where it craps out in the installer.

thanks
Johnny

You forgot the attachment and I don't really understand what goes wrong with your script, but I guess you need this:

sorry about that.
It seems the reg2nsis utility clear the problem with the reg file import i had earlier.

thank you again
Johnny
