Register Property (File)

See Also         

Specifies how to register the file when it is installed.

Settings

The settings for the Register property are:

Setting Description
0 - vsifrNone The file requires no registration or will be registered as specified by your associations in the Associations editor.
1 - vsifrSelfReg The file will be self-registered when it is installed.
2 - vsifrFont The file will be registered as a font file when it is installed.

Remarks

To ensure the Microsoft® Windows® installer knows enough about your installed files to rollback or advertise them, you must install the files in a manner compliant with Windows installer requirements. Self-registering files is not compliant with Windows installer requirements.

The Associations Editor in Microsoft® Visual Studio® Installer makes it possible for you to install Windows installer-compliant COM objects.
