Add/Modify Registry Entry Dialog Box

Use this dialog box to customize general software settings of your Hummingbird product. After your Hummingbird product installation file installs the custom components and files on the target machine, it can write the custom registry keys and values set in Sconfig to the system registry. You establish the keys and values your installation file writes to the system registry by setting them up in your transform file (.mst) in Sconfig.
