如何在安装时通过NSIS安装程序将用户给定的数据存储在注册表项中？

Question

I have program which has some values which vary from computer to computer but are only set once at the initialization of the program. (ie a machine id value). The program is installed a NSIS compiled installer.

Currently the values are set on first run time of the program application, however I wanted to tidy this up and set it in the installer instead.

Is it possible to ask the user to enter the values into the installer and then safe these to register keys to be read from the application? What would be the best way to implement this?

(The nsis source forge seems to be down unfortunately)

Thanks

You can build dialogs using nsDialogs . If SourceForge is down, have a look at the your local documentation %PROGRAMFILES%\\NSIS\\Docs and the examples %PROGRAMFILES%\\NSIS\\Examples .

For registry operations, take a look at ReadRegStr / WriteRegStr or ReadRegDWORD / WriteRegDWORD for a start.
