Property Value

String

The value of the default registry root for the VSPackage.

Remarks

The registry root stored in DefaultRegistryRootAttribute is relative to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. For example, a value of Software\\Microsoft\\VisualStudio\\8.0Exp corresponds to the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0Exp.

Automatic registration tools such as regpkg.exe register the VSPackage into the registry root stored in DefaultRegistryRootAttribute unless the registration tool provides an alternate registry root, for example, as a command line argument.
