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.
