During a reference installation, the Packager does not check for or record changes in the registry made to the areas (roots and keys) specified on the Keys to exclude tab of the Configure Reference System dialog.
If you specify a key on the Keys to exclude tab, changes made to the key during the reference installation are not recorded and, therefore, the key is not reset to its original state after the reference installation has completed.
The registry areas to be excluded are dynamic areas that are modified by Windows at run time. This dynamic modification at run time could corrupt the reference installation, unless the keys for these registry areas are excluded from the packaging process. By default, these registry keys are excluded from the packaging process, through the Keys to exclude tab.
Normally, you do not need to enter any keys on this dialog, because of the default settings. However, you may want to exclude additional keys, such as keys belonging to products that were not installed by the Packager for Windows or that may be installed in the future. To exclude the proper keys for these purposes, you must know how the registry works.
To exclude a registry area, in addition to the areas excluded by default, browse the registry to select a registry key to be excluded.
If you select the Recursively option, all keys and values under this key are also excluded from the check.
