How to add project path at run time in the registry while project setup installation?

[joerozario]

I have created a windows application. Like windows search program.
So I want my project link should be shown in folder right click.

I have added values in the registry manually in I have got as I need.

This is the Registry Script
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_RO OT\Directory\sh ell\ADM]
[HKEY_CLASSES_RO OT\Directory\sh ell\ADM\command]
@="Project path "

In above given (path) I want to set my project path.

It is possible to create nodes at the registry. There is option available in .net setup project itself. I want set the value (“the path user specifies the project to install) I want that value
to come in registry value.

How to do that?

Thank u

If u want "C:\Program Files\Installed Folder\Applicat ionName.exe" in Registry,
use [TARGETDIR]ApplicationName .exe in the Setup Project.
Use [TARGETDIR] (ie. within square brackets).
Do not use \ between [TARGETDIR] and ApplicationName .exe.
This works for me.

@zedcse
a big thank you to zedcse
could not have worked it out without such a possitive and consice reply

May I Add
In visual Studio
Select the setup in solution explorer
at the top click on the registry editer
In the left pane of the editer select HKEY_CLASSES_RO OT
right click and Add a Folder, Call it Folder
right click that Folder and add a folder, call it Shell
Add a folder to that one and Call it "The Name you want to appear in the windows explorer right click menu"
add another Folder and call it Command
should look like this:-
HKEY_CLASSES_RO OT
.....Folder
........Shell
..........Your Menu Item
..............C ommand
-----------------------------------
Then right click the command folder and add/new Environment string
right click the (default) and select properties window
in the properties window Delete the (name)
in value Add
[TARGETDIR]File Your Prog Name.exe "%1"
-----------------------------------
That's it nothing more nothing less
'so easy when you know how.'
