Re: AutoInstall Program (w/ Silent cab install)

Quite a N00b question, I'm sure......

I'm looking to implement this to ease the pain of ROM updates (as I'm sure most of us are). Have just started to explore the windoze registry...

To apply our own customizations, can we just export the applicable parts of the registry into a .reg file, then put these into autoinstall after the .cab install of the particular app??

For way of an example, let's take slingbox. The registry contains the 'finder' id of my slingbox, as well as passwords and things like that- pain in the butt to re-key it after upgrades. Could I export this segment from the registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Sling Media\SlingPlayer]

and just use autoinstall on this .reg file to re-populate my settings?? Or is that just asking for trouble??

That's just one example....of course there's many many many others....

Thanks!
