Is it just me or is the Package and deployment wizard a pile of shite?
I've always used InstallShield Express in the past but thought I'd try the PDW.
How the hell do you create registry entries? This is a doddle with InstallShield but does not appear to be possible using PDW!
No it is not just you. The PDW is ****.
Apparently there is something called The Setup Toolkit that co-exists with the PDW. You are supposed to be able to edit the setup project "Setup1.vbp". Apparently you can add new screens and code to do what ever you wish, though how easy this is i have no idea.
Once you have added or modified the project you have to make the Setup1.exe. Any way there is some info on doing this in MSDN.
Hope this is relevant.

Hi there, I suggest you try other setup packages like for instance inno setup (hey don't worry it's free men )and it can solve your problem regarding registry settings.. Just RTFM man... Bye...
Oops, forgot to include the website for free downloads on inno setup [ http://www.jordanr.dhs.org/ ]
What you need is a VISE Installer... :)

If you have a registered version of Visual Basic you can download the Visual Studio Installer for free. You can make your registry entries with it and it's pretty easy to use.
