Expandable Registry Values

The Expandable Registry Values tab on the Configure Reference System dialog specifies the registry values to expand during reference installations.

Some registry values are predefined by the reference system. For example:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE]\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment\Path

The values displayed in the first box of the Expandable Registry values tab must be defined on the Keys to scan tab. Values specified in this tab must be in the range defined by the Keys to scan tab and Keys to exclude tab.

In contrast to the Keys to scan tab, however, you can use the Expandable Registry values tab to treat registry values differently, with regard to expanding and overwriting.

You can enter values of the following types only:

• REG_SZ (string)
• REG_EXPAND_SZ (expand string)
• REG_MULTI_SZ.

If the registry values you specify on the Expandable Registry Values tab are expanded during a reference installation, the Packager will record whether the original registry value was appended or prefixed.
