Registry?

[SteveD73]

Hello

I need to be able to add an item the add/remove programs list in the control panel. How can I go about this?

Also I need to add a shortcut to the desktop and the start menu. Any ideas?

Thanks

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UnInstall\Your Application Name]
"DisplayName"="Your Application Name"
"UninstallString"="C:\\program files\\mspclnt\\setupbin\\Your_Application_Setup"

To write-read from registry use RegOpenKey,RegQueryKey RegCloseKey & others from ADVAPI32.DLL

This works on Win9x, WinNT and Win2000 as far as I know,

Hope this helps,

I've had a look at the RegCreateKeyEx function but it said I could not create a key under LOCAL_MACHINE. How can I get around this? I need to put information in the uninstall directory.
