Hi All,

I am a complete newbie to VSIP and I am a setup developer. The problem is
that the addin that is currently developed (unmanaged) creates a lot of
registry entries during the self registration process. The source of this
understandably is an RGS file which uses substitution strings to put in these
values. As a setup developer, I would appreciate if these registry entries
are not created during the registration process but be done after that. Or
atleast have them extracted as a REG file so that we can import it back into
the MSI package.

We are using VSIP 2003 Beta 1. I was informed by our developers is that it
was not possible. However, I have read about the VSIPRegPkg.exe file and
would be glad if we would be able to use that. Our addin is in the very
initial stage of the testing process and since the MSI build is a part of the
daily build process, the quality team has a real tough time getting this to
work. Frankly, I would prefer a "cleaner" solution than creating the registry
keys during self registration. I am sure that this is against Microsoft's
philosophy about setups.

Thanks a ton,
Vagmi
