Removing a Key or Value

The PackDesigner mode Visual Designer contains a Registry view with all contents stored within a packaging projects Registry table. To remove a key or value by using the Registry view interface, users have the following options at hand:

Remove a Registry Key

Within the package registry browser, right-click any key, and select Remove from the context menu.

Within the package registry browser, left-click any key, and hit Delete on the keyboard.

 

Either way, the remove procedure is triggered. Once a key is removed, it is lost from the packaging project - along with all keys and values it contained.

 

Remove a Registry Value

Within the package registry browser, right-click any value, and select Remove from the context menu.

Within the package registry browser, left-click any value, and hit Delete on the keyboard.

 

Either way, the remove procedure is triggered. Once a value is removed, it is lost from the packaging project.

 

Confirm Registry Object Removal

Since an accidental object removal could lead to substantial issues, RayPack displays a Confirm dialog before a registry object is actually removed. Use the REMOVE button within that dialog to confirm the activity. If DO NOT REMOVE or CANCEL are clicked, the object is not deleted and the user returns to the Registry view without any changes.

 

The display of the Confirm dialog may manually be abandoned for future removal procedures by activating the "In future do not show this confirmation for delete operations" checkbox and using the REMOVE or DO NOT REMOVE button next (using the CANCEL button does not save any changes made to the status of that checkbox). However, it is not recommended to skip the confirmation step, since it may prevent users from severe data loss.

Note:

As soon as a key or value object is deleted from the Registry view, its resembling data row is marked as deleted within the affected Installer database table Registry.

Once the packaging project is saved or the history of changes is cleared, the key or value object is no longer visible at all.

Please refer to the Tables section to get more details about the object manipulation history and markup management.
