I'm trying to write an installer for an outlook add-in that I made. The only problem is that I have no idea how/what to do to change the registry settings/values. I'm using the Setup Project in Visual Studio..
but when I get to the Registry editor I don;t really know what to put where. I have a registry.reg file that came with the template for my project, but I was told I need to manually put the registry values in.
Is this right?
Here's what's in the .reg file:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

What is all this and what do I do with it?

Thanks in advance

It's a long time I have not used Setup and deployment project, so I am not sure about my answer.

Lol.. thanks, I can't believe I never came across something about importing reg files. It worked!
