How can I add a registry string to the registry through my software installer?
September 15th, 2009 | by admin |The startup registry key is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Run. How can I add my software string to this key using an installer so that it will startup automatically when the customer boots up his system?
As I will not be there to do it for them, the installer needs to do it automatically.
Can’t you include a BAT file in your software installer? With a BAT file it would be easy:
; copy from next line down exactly!
Windows registry editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mi...
CurrentVersion\Run]
"Your_Key_Name"="Your_Key_Value"
; stop copying
This in a BAT file will create the key name/value in the registry. Have fun. Try it on you own pc.
