"Edit Registry"

[NewsArchive]

Hi Friedrich -

It took me frustrating amount of to find "Edit Registry", as I was
looking for a Set/Put counterpart to "Get Registry Key Value".

I wonder if anybody else has run into this.

I'll add it new "Set Registry" and "Put Registry" index keywords to the help
file.

I think "Set/Put" is very Clarion-specific. Quite a few users switched from
other installation systems to SetupBuilder. To make the transition as
smooth as possible, I created functions with well known installer function
names. So we have "Edit Environment Variable", "Edit INI File", "Edit
Registry", "Edit Service". Even Microsoft's own SMS Installer for Systems
Management Server (SMS) has the "Edit Registry..." function (and not "Put
Registry" or "Write Registry", etc.).

Thank you Friedrich. Putting those keywords in the help will help a
lot.
