RegPkg Utility

  • Artikel

Hinweis

The preferred way to register packages in Visual Studio 2010 is by using .pkgdef files. This allows for extension deployment without having to access the system registry, which is a requirement for VSIX deployment. Pkgdef files are created by using the CreatePkgDef Utility. For more information on Visual Studio package deployment, see VSIX Deployment.

The RegPkg.exe utility registers a VSPackage with Visual Studio and prepares it for deployment. This utility is used behind the scenes during VSPackage development. It runs as part of the build process so that you can build and run a VSPackage in the experimental hive. For more information on experimental builds, see Experimental Instance of Visual Studio.

RegPkg can generate system registry scripts in several formats. You can incorporate these scripts in deployment projects such as .msi projects or Windows Installer XML Toolset files. For an example, see Walkthrough: Deploying a VSPackage.

RegPkg.exe is typically located at <Visual Studio SDK installation path>\VisualStudioIntegration\Tools\Bin\RegPkg.exe. RegPkg follows this syntax:

RegPkg [/root:<root>] [/regfile:<regfile>] [/rgsfile:<rgsfile> [/rgm]] [/vrgfile:<vrgfile>] [/codebase | /assembly] [/unregister] AssemblyPath

  • /root:root
    Performs registration under the specified

    Visual Studio root.

  • /regfile:FileName
    Creates a .reg file rather than updating the registry. Cannot be used with /vrgfile or /rgsfile or /wixfile.

  • /rgsfile:FileName
    Creates a .rgs file rather than updating the registry. Cannot be used with /vrgfile or /regfile or /wixfile.

  • /vrgfile:FileName
    Creates a .vrg file rather than updating the registry. Cannot be used with /regfile or /rgsfile or /wixfile.

  • /rgm
    Creates a .rgm file in addition to the rgs file. Must be combined with /rgsfile.

  • /wixfile:FileName
    Creates a Windows Installer XML Toolset-compatible file rather than updating the registry. Cannot be used with /regfile or /rgsfile or /vrgfile.

  • /codebase
    Forces registration with CodeBase rather than Assembly.

  • /assembly
    Forces registration with Assembly rather than CodeBase.

  • /unregister
    Unregisters this package. Cannot be used

    with /regfile or /vrgfile or /rgsfile or /wixfile.
