Hello, I want someone enlighten me about the Windows registry.

What I need to know is that keys must be modified to register an application correctly, for example executables and extensions associated with the program the same way everything related to the application to work properly.

What are those keys to modify and register my application?

You should not have to modify the registry at all unless your app really -needs- to for whatever reason. The important thing is to install it to the right place and make the data folders legal as well. You do not need the registry for this.

I appreciate your response.
I'm just creating an installer and one of the things I'd like is to appear in the wizard to add and remove Windows program, I think that's the main thing I want to do.

Your installer should do that by itself. If it doesn't, find a better installer. I recommend InnoSetup.

X2 for inno.
Un-install keys are added automatically by the installer. Your actual app does not need to do anything.

Hello, I understand you need the key showing the configuration to remove the program from the control panel.

The key is this:

 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/WINDOWS/CURRENTVERSION/UNISTALL


Edit: The man is making an installer ...
