A component of this component type contains a registry file (*.reg). Registry files are text files that specify the key and values to add or remove from the registry metabase.
The provisioning software does not compare versions of a registry file for differences. To be able to view differences between registry files, use the Registry Keys component type instead.
To choose a file for this component type, select a *.reg file from the file browser.
Regedit /s file path is called on the *.reg file to write its changes to the registry.
During uninstallation, only the *.reg file used during installation is removed. The registry keys inside the registry file are unaffected. Use the Registry Keys type to enable registry uninstallation.
