FOREWORD

To [$Namn],

If you have used a programming language before you are probably very familiar with variables. If not, you can read this Wikipedia article to get a basic knowledge about variables.

Both Visual Installer and CD-Menu Creator support variables, and in this issue of our newsletter we will show you how to use variables in these two tools.
 
Sincerely,

THE %REG1 TO %REG5 VARIABLES IN VISUAL INSTALLER

Many variables in Visual Installer get their values automatically from known locations in the Windows Registry, but there are also some variables in Visual Installer that can obtain their values from locations in Windows Registry that you specify.

The Variables dialog box in Visual Installer

The name of these variables are %REG1, %REG2, %REG3, %REG4, and %REG5, and in this blog post we will explain how to use them:
