WiseScript Actions
Create/update key and value
The value is updated if it already exists. If the key or value does not exist, it is
created.
Create empty key
Creates the key but does not add any values.
Remove key and all subkeys
Deletes the key, its subkeys, and all named values associated with the key and
its subkeys on the destination computer.
Remove key and value only
Removes the named value from the key on the destination computer. If the key
has other named values, they are preserved.
Preserve existing key and value
Adds a new key or value if the specified item does not exist, but leaves the
existing value in place if one already exists. This option is not available with the
Edit Registry for SVS Layer script action.
z
Root
Select the parent key in which the new key is added.
z
Key
Enter the name of the new key. You can create multiple hierarchical keys at once by
separating them with backslashes, as in directory paths. (Example: Entering
NewDocument\Protocol\StdFileEditing creates the StdFileEditing key inside the
Protocol key, which is created inside the NewDocument key.) Any keys in the path
that do not exist are automatically created.
z
Value Name
Enter the name of a new named value.
z
Data Value
The data for the value. If the Data Type (below) is Double Word (DWORD), the
data should be in decimal notation. To insert multiple lines of data here, press
Ctrl+Enter to begin a new line.
z
Data Type
Select the type of data contained in the named value. Available types are listed
below. The associated Windows API data types are in parentheses.
String
(REG_SZ prefix) Indicates that a value entry is an expandable string. To embed
a variable name, (such as %WIN%), enclose it with double percents
(%%WIN%%). If you enclose it in single percents, then the variable name is
expanded to its actual value. This allows Windows system variables to be
embedded.
Unexpanded String
(REG_EXPAND_SZ prefix) Identifies a value entry as an unexpanded data
string. To embed a variable name, (such as %WIN%), you must enclose it with
double percents (%%WIN%%). If you only enclose it in single percents, then
the variable name is expanded to its actual value. This allows Windows system
variables to be embedded.
Multiple Strings
(REG_MULTI_SZ prefix) Identifies a value entry as a multiple string. These are
multiple pieces of text, separated by carriage returns.
