This action creates a step to create, update, or delete registry values.  Use the Read Registry action to read a value from the registry.

 

Root key: The root registry key/hive to access.

 

Subkey: The subkey to access (for instance, Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion), required.  Any subkeys that don't exist will be created when creating values.

 

Value name: The value to create/update or delete (optional).  The default value is updated if an empty string is entered.  To delete the subkey and all child keys/values, enter 5 asterisk characters, ***** (Important: be careful with this, as all keys and values below the subkey will be recursively deleted).

 

Delete the value: If checked, the registry key or value is deleted if it exists.

 

Value type: Type of value to create (string or DWORD).

 

Value data: The data to write to the registry value (required unless deleting).

 

Access 64-bit registry view: Visual Build is a 32-bit application.  On 64-bit Windows, the Read Registry action accesses the 32-bit registry view by default.  If this option is checked, the action will access redirected keys in the 64-bit registry view.  This option has no effect on 32-bit Windows or shared registry keys in 64-bit Windows (for more information, see Registry Keys Affected by WOW64).
