SUMMARY

In general, you may have various types of registry entries including binary, DWORD, DWORD little-endian, DWORD big-endian, Unicode symbolic link, array of null-terminated strings, device-driver resource list, and null-terminated string (with or without unexpanded references).

However, an inf AddReg section value type is limited to either an ANSI string or a number in hexadecimal notation and Intel format. Setupx.dll does not recognize any other value types in AddReg sections. You can set other registry value types from an application using RegSetValueEx.
