HKR	Means relative from the Key passed into GenInstallEx

subkey

Identifies the subkey to delete. Has the form key1\key2\key3... This parameter can be expressed as a replaceable string. For example, you could use %Subkey1% where the string to replace %Subkey1% is defined in the Strings section of the INF file.

value-name

Optional. Identifies the value name for the subkey. Note that the value-name parameter can be expressed as a replaceable string. For example, you could use %Valname1% where the string to replace %Valname1% is defined in the Strings section of the INF file.

This type of section can contain any number of items. Each item deletes one subkey or value name from the registry.
