Hi
If you know what registry setting that had to be changed you can put this inside MSI package
IF the setting is a user setting f.ex
I think it could be some where in registry like this place:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.txt]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.txt\OpenWithList]
When the setting is HKEY_CURRENT_USER
You have to add it as a USER Package and to install at logon
Go to User Configuration | Software Settings | Software installation | Right mouse | New package | select file
select Advanced | on Deployment tab select
Deployment type = Assigned
Deployment options:
select : Uninstall this application when it falls out of the scope of management
select : Install this application at logon
Installation user interface option:
Select : Maximum
I would use Install Shield Adminstudio or Wise package studio to make snapshot before and after making the realplayer
changes.
