installation/usage in Windows NT

[Dan-the-K]

Many of our applications are executed merely by clicking on them or invoking their name in a command line. Examples are Winboard, Crafty, and Chess Partner. Such simplicity is different than the usual method in Windows NT 4 - some magical background program installs the application and sets lots of registry items.

My question is: how do I make Registry entries for these applications? Is it automatic or do we need to do something?

Hi,

There is no point in making registry entries unless absolutely required. Typically applications make registry entries so that they can store data there. Since none of these applications store data in the registry (No idea about Chess Partner) no entries are required.
