Using the installer to update registry settings

Article Information: If you create an installer for your application, the installer can update registry settings so that your application appears in the application Loader in BlackBerry Desktop Manager. This is optional, but it means that users do not have to manually click Add in the Application Loader to locate the .alx file.

Add a string (REG_SZ) value to the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader\Packages

Create the registry value as follows:

  • Name: The value name is the same as the <application id> in the .alx file. By default, this is the same as the project name in the IDE. For example: com.rim.helloworld.
  • Data: The value data is the full path to the location where you install the .alx file on the user's computer, for example: C:\temp\Files\samples\sampleapp.alx.
