The CMake provided NSIS template (Modules/NSIS.template.in) does: WriteRegStr SHCTX "Software\@CPACK_PACKAGE_VENDOR@\@CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_REGISTRY_KEY@" "" $INSTDIR so I bet you normally do: SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_VENDOR "Me") SET (CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_REGISTRY_KEY "${MYSOFTWARE_NAME}") and get "Software\me\MySoftware" installed in the registry. not quite what you want because SHCTX means: SHCTX or SHELL_CONTEXT, it will be replaced with HKLM if SetShellVarContext is set to all and with HKCU if SetShellVarContext is set to current. see: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Docs/Chapter4.html#4.9.2.14 > Do I have to create the registry key in the first place ?

I think you'll have to write your own "NSIS.template.in" and make CPack use it (put it in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH or CPACK_MODULE_PATH) -- Erk Le gouvernement représentatif n'est pas la démocratie -- http://www.le-message.org -- Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
