Assembling an Installation
2. From Current Feature, select a feature or condition. (Because any item you add
must be assigned to a specific feature, you cannot add an item when All Features
is selected.)
Items that you add to a feature are installed on the destination computer only if the
feature is installed.
Items that you add to a condition are installed only if the feature is installed and the
condition is true.
3. In a 64-bit installation, right-click in the lower-left list box and select 32-bit View or
64-bit View.
4. In the lower-left list box, select the key to contain the value you’re adding.
5. Click Add and select Key.
The Registry Details dialog box appears.
6. Complete the dialog box and click OK.

Configuring General Registry Settings
on page 145.
To add a registry value in Setup Editor

On the Features tab, expand a feature and then expand its Combined folder.
If the Combined folder does not appear, right-click and select Hide Empty
Folders/Items.
On the Components tab, expand a component.
When an installation contains both 32-bit and 64-bit components, place registry
keys in the appropriate location for the platform they target.
2. Expand the Registry icon.
3. To add a new folder, right-click a folder and select New > Folder. Rename the new
folder.

The registry value is added to the selected feature or component and appears in the
lower-right list box. To edit it, double-click its name. To delete it, use the right-click
menu.
Removing Registry Entries From the Destination Computer
You can specify registry keys and values to be removed from the destination computer
during installation. This operation affects registry entries that are already on the
destination computer, not registry entries that are part of the installation.
In Installation Expert, the Registry page displays only the registry keys for the feature in
the Current Feature drop-down list. To display registry keys for all features, mark
View registry keys for all features on Registry page in Wise Options.
