Registry Information Panel
Chapter 23: Wizard Reference
Windows Mobile Wizard/Smart Device Setup Wizard
The Registry Information panel has been designed to closely resemble the widely recognized Windows
Registry Editor (Regedit.exe). This panel simplifies the process of creating registry keys and setting
registry values during installation onto a Windows Mobile device. Since this panel lacks buttons, all
configuration is accomplished using context menus available by right-clicking various items, as detailed
below.
Caution: Windows CE Version 2.x has a limit on the amount of registry data that can be created in a single installation. If
you experience problems with registry entries being created incorrectly, you may need to decrease the number of file
associations and other registry entries. You can also use a setup .dll file with your installation to create the registry entries.
Note: Some registry keys and values are created by the Windows Mobile installation mechanism, or by any file
associations you have added to your project. Since these keys and values are created automatically, you will not be able
to delete, rename, or modify them in this panel.
Working with Registry Keys
As with the standard Windows registry editor, the explorer window on the left side of this panel displays
the hierarchy of keys in the Windows Mobile device’s registry. Registry keys can be added or removed by
right-clicking and selecting the appropriate item on the context menu.
Adding Keys
Task To add a registry key:
Right-click an existing key, point to New, and click Key. A new key is added under the selected key, and
you are prompted for the key name.
Removing Keys
Task To remove a registry key:
Right-click the key that you would like to remove and click Delete. The selected key, all of its values, and
all of its subkeys are removed.
Renaming Keys
Task To rename a key:
Right-click the key and click Rename. Type the new name.
