[Dev-C++] Creating registry keys

[Jarren L. <vb...@gm...>]

Hi all,
 I'm trying to make my own installer, but I have a problem. I need to be=20
able to register my own file types and extensions. Can anyone show me a=20
small example of how to create my own registry keys with values in c++? I=
=20
tried reading the MSDN documentation, but it wasn't all that helpful.
Here's what I need to make (roughly):
 HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
----(info)
--------(more info)
 Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

Hi,
These API functions will help us to play with registry for adding and=20
deleting keys from the Regsitry. But I dont understand what are the pre=20
requisites for coding an installer package.
Out of the requirements one is setting the registry keys. What are the keys=
=20
to be created.
Please let me know the source where to read for this documentation.
Thanks in advance.

Jarren,
Thanks a lot for your kind help.=20

Microsoft provides Installer package with Microsoft Visual Studio. But this=
=20
can be used only for Installing VB 6.0 Projects. If we are developing=20
projects in VC++ 6.0 then how we should make packages to install it in othe=
r=20
computers. Please let me know if you have any idea.
Thanks
