Forcing a Windows Registry Change Through SETUP.CFG

Forcing a Windows Registry Change Through SETUP.CFG

This section is only for those of you who are very savvy with the Windows Registry. You can define Windows Registry settings and changes that you might want to make. If there's a Registry setting that you know the GroupWise client installation makes, yet you want to specify a different setting, follow these steps:

1.	Edit the SETUP.CFG file, either in the SDD or on the web server if you are using SETUPIP.
2.	Add the following syntax to SETUP.CFG for the Registry setting you want to define or change: [Registry Setting x] Action=Add or Delete Type=String or DWORD Key=<Key Name> Name=<Value Name> Value=<Value to set>

Here are a few examples:

This change will add a value named BuildNumber under the GroupWise key set to 2085:

[Registry Setting 1] Action=Add Type=DWORD Key=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Novell\GroupWise Name=BuildNumber Value=2085

This change will delete a value named BuildNumber under the GroupWise key:

[Registry Setting 2] Action=Delete Key=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Novell\GroupWise Name=BuildNumber

This change will delete the GroupWise key and all subkeys (use this one with caution):

[Registry Setting 3] Action=Delete Key=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Novell\GroupWise

This section explained how the GroupWise installation can also roll out or delete Registry settings.
