\S1{registry} Registry, INI, File Instructions
In all of the below registry instructions use an empty string (just two quotes with nothing between them - "") as the key name to specify the default key which is shown as (Default) in regedit.exe.
Use \R{setregview}{SetRegView} on 64-bit Windows to choose which registry view is used.
If a full path is not specified for any of the INI handling instructions, the Windows directory will be used.
\S2{deleteinisec} DeleteINISec
\c ini_filename section_name
Deletes the entire section [section_name] from ini_filename. If the section could not be removed from the ini file, the error flag is set. It does not set the error flag if the section could not be found.
\c WriteINIStr $TEMP\something.ini section1 something 123
\c WriteINIStr $TEMP\something.ini section1 somethingelse 1234
\c WriteINIStr $TEMP\something.ini section2 nsis true
\c DeleteINISec $TEMP\something.ini section1
\S2{deleteinistr} DeleteINIStr
\c ini_filename section_name str_name
Deletes the string str_name from section [section_name] from ini_filename. If the string could not be removed from the ini file, the error flag is set. It does not set the error flag if the string could not be found.
\c WriteINIStr $TEMP\something.ini section1 something 123
\c WriteINIStr $TEMP\something.ini section1 somethingelse 1234
\c DeleteINIStr $TEMP\something.ini section1 somethingelse
\S2{deleteregkey} DeleteRegKey
\c [/ifempty | /ifnosubkeys | /ifnovalues] root_key subkey
Deletes a registry key. If /ifempty is specified, the registry key will only be deleted if it has no subkeys and no values (otherwise, the whole registry tree will be removed). Valid values for root_key are listed under \R{writeregstr}{WriteRegStr}. The error flag is set if the key could not be removed from the registry (or if it didn't exist to begin with).
\c DeleteRegKey HKLM "Software\My Company\My Software"
\c DeleteRegKey /ifempty HKLM "Software\A key that might have subkeys"
\S2{deleteregvalue} DeleteRegValue
\c root_key subkey key_name
Deletes a registry value. Valid values for root_key are listed under \R{writeregstr}{WriteRegStr}. The error flag is set if the value could not be removed from the registry (or if it didn't exist to begin with).
\c DeleteRegValue HKLM "Software\My Company\My Software" "some value"
\S2{enumregkey} EnumRegKey
\c user_var(output) root_key subkey index
Set user variable $x with the name of the 'index'th registry key in root_key\\Subkey. Valid values for root_key are listed under \R{writeregstr}{WriteRegStr}. Returns an empty string if there are no more keys, and returns an empty string and sets the error flag if there is an error.

\S2{expandenvstrings} ExpandEnvStrings
\c user_var(output) string
Expands environment variables in \e{string} into the user variable \e{$x}. If an environment variable doesn't exist, it will not be replaced. For example, if you use "%var%" and var doesn't exists, the result will be "%var%". If there is an error, the variable is set to empty, and the error flag is set.
\c ExpandEnvStrings $0 "WINDIR=%WINDIR%$\nTEMP=%TEMP%"
\S2{flushini} FlushINI
\c ini_filename
Flushes the INI file's buffers. Windows 9x keeps all changes to the INI file in memory. This command causes the changes to be written to the disk immediately. Use it if you edit the INI manually, delete it, move it or copy it right after you change it with \R{writeinistr}{WriteINIStr}, \R{deleteinisec}{DeleteINISec} or \R{deleteinistr}{DeleteINStr}.
\c WriteINIStr $TEMP\something.ini test test test
\c FlushINI $TEMP\something.ini
\c Delete $TEMP\something.ini
\S2{readenvstr} ReadEnvStr
\c user_var(output) name
Reads from the environment string "name" and sets the value into the user variable $x. If there is an error reading the string, the user variable is set to empty, and the error flag is set.
\c ReadEnvStr $0 WINDIR
\c ReadEnvStr $1 TEMP
\S2{readinistr} ReadINIStr
\c user_var(output) ini_filename section_name entry_name
Reads from entry_name in [section_name] of ini_filename and stores the value into user variable $x. The error flag will be set and $x will be assigned to an empty string if the entry is not found.

\S2{readregdword} ReadRegDWORD
\c user_var(output) root_key sub_key name
Reads a 32-bit DWORD from the registry into the user variable $x. Valid values for root_key are listed under \R{writeregstr}{WriteRegStr}. The error flag will be set and $x will be set to an empty string ("" which is interpreted as 0 in math operations) if the DWORD is not present. If the value is present, but is not a DWORD, it will be read as a string and the error flag will be set.
\c ReadRegDWORD $0 HKLM Software\NSIS VersionBuild
\S2{readregstr} ReadRegStr
\c user_var(output) root_key sub_key name
Reads from the registry into the user variable $x. Valid values for root_key are listed under \R{writeregstr}{WriteRegStr}. The error flag will be set and $x will be set to an empty string ("") if the string is not present. If the value is present, but is of type REG_DWORD, it will be read and converted to a string and the error flag will be set.
\c ReadRegStr $0 HKLM Software\NSIS ""
\c DetailPrint "NSIS is installed at: $0"
\S2{writeinistr} WriteINIStr
\c ini_filename section_name entry_name value

\c WriteINIStr $TEMP\something.ini section1 somethingelse 1234
\c WriteINIStr $TEMP\something.ini section2 nsis true
\S2{writeregbin} WriteRegBin
\c root_key subkey key_name valuedata
This command writes a block of binary data to the registry. Valid values for root_key are listed under \R{writeregstr}{WriteRegStr}. Valuedata is in hexadecimal (e.g. DEADBEEF01223211151). The error flag is set if the binary data could not be written to the registry. If the registry key doesn't exist it will be created.
\c WriteRegBin HKLM "Software\My Company\My Software" "Binary Value" DEADBEEF01223211151
\S2{writeregdword} WriteRegDWORD
\c root_key subkey key_name value
This command writes a DWORD (32-bit integer) to the registry (a user variable can be specified). Valid values for root_key are listed under \R{writeregstr}{WriteRegStr}. The error flag is set if the dword could not be written to the registry. If the registry key doesn't exist it will be created.
\c WriteRegDWORD HKLM "Software\My Company\My Software" "DWORD Value" 0xDEADBEEF
\S2{writeregstr} WriteRegStr
\c root_key subkey key_name value
Write a string to the registry. See \R{writeregexpandstr}{WriteRegExpandStr} for more details.
\c WriteRegStr HKLM "Software\My Company\My Software" "String Value" "dead beef"
\S2{writeregexpandstr} WriteRegExpandStr
\c root_key subkey key_name value
Write a string to the registry. \e{root_key} must be one of:
\b \e{HKCR} or \e{HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT}
\b \e{HKLM} or \e{HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE}
\b \e{HKCU} or \e{HKEY_CURRENT_USER}
\b \e{HKU} or \e{HKEY_USERS}
\b \e{HKCC} or \e{HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG}
\b \e{HKDD} or \e{HKEY_DYN_DATA}
\b \e{HKPD} or \e{HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA}
\b \e{SHCTX} or \e{SHELL_CONTEXT}
\b \e{HKCR32} or \e{HKCR64}
\b \e{HKCU32} or \e{HKCU64}
\b \e{HKLM32} or \e{HKLM64}
If \e{root_key} is \e{SHCTX} or \e{SHELL_CONTEXT}, it will be replaced with \e{HKLM} if \R{setshellvarcontext}{SetShellVarContext} is set to \e{all} and with \e{HKCU} if \R{setshellvarcontext}{SetShellVarContext} is set to \e{current}.
The error flag is set if the string could not be written to the registry. The type of the string will be REG_SZ for \R{writeregstr}{WriteRegStr}, or REG_EXPAND_STR for \R{writeregexpandstr}{WriteRegExpandStr}. If the registry key doesn't exist it will be created.
\c WriteRegExpandStr HKLM "Software\My Company\My Software" "Expand String Value" "%WINDIR%\notepad.exe"
\S2{writeregmultistr} WriteRegMultiStr
\c /REGEDIT5 root_key subkey key_name value

\S2{setregview} SetRegView
\c 32|64|\\<b\\>default\\</b\\>|lastused
Sets the registry view affected by \R{registry}{registry commands} (root keys with a 32/64 suffix are not affected). On 64-bit versions of Windows there are two views; one for 32-bit applications and one for 64-bit applications. By default, 32-bit applications running on 64-bit systems (WOW64) only have access to the 32-bit view. Using \c{SetRegView 64} allows the installer to access keys in the 64-bit view of the registry. Registry operations will fail if the selected view is not supported by Windows.
Affects \R{deleteregkey}{DeleteRegKey}, \R{deleteregvalue}{DeleteRegValue}, \R{enumregkey}{EnumRegKey}, \R{enumregvalue}{EnumRegValue}, \R{readregdword}{ReadRegDWORD}, \R{readregstr}{ReadRegStr}, \R{writeregbin}{WriteRegBin}, \R{writeregdword}{WriteRegDWORD}, \R{writeregstr}{WriteRegStr} and \R{writeregexpandstr}{WriteRegExpandStr}.
Does not affect \R{ainstalldirregkey}{InstallDirRegKey}. Instead, the registry must be read using \R{readregstr}{ReadRegStr} in \R{oninit}{.onInit}.
