Registry View
AdminStudio 2021 | 21.0 | MSIX Editor
The Registry view enables you to view registry keys, values, and data that exist in for your MSIX package. This view also lets you add, delete, and modify the registry keys of the package.
An MSIX package typically contains the following .dat files which hold the registry information of the package:
• | Registry.dat |
• | User.dat |
• | User.Classes.dat |
The Regirsty.dat file maps to the HKLM which per-machine registry entries while the per-user registry entries are mapped to the other .dat files. These are virtualized registry keys and only the MSIX package will be able to read them. These keys will not be visible in the client system registry. Note that the registry entries that are configured in the Registry view affect only your MSIX package. They do not affect any applications that are installed to the client system.
The Registry view contains the following two panes:
