    Setup and deployment project

    I am not sure if I post this issue at the correct newgroup. If I need to
    post it somewhere else, please let me know what is the correct newsgroup for
    this.

    I am using VB.NET 2005 and I create a "setup and deployment" project.
    When I use this installation to install on a user's machine, how can I merge
    some registry settings into the user's machine ?

    Thank you

    The solution explorer, select the "Registry editor" button on the top
    toolbar (it's a little button showing some blocks in cyan). Then you can
    add the registry settings in the "Registry (<name of setup project>)" tab.

      Re: Setup and deployment project

      Great ! Thank you.
      Is there any way that I can import/copy the registry settings from my
      machine to the setup and deployment ? (instead of creating them one by one
      in the setup and deployment )

        There's an option in that Registry IDE view to import a .reg file. Do Import
        on the Registry on Target Machine.
