Delete Registry Values Action

The Delete Registry Values action removes one or more values from a designated registry key.  To use this action, select a registry hive and define a path to the key that holds the values that are to be removed.  This key must exist.  Then provide a list of value names that are to be removed.  The match is case insensitive.  If a defined value is not found the action continues without raising an error.

Use caution when deleting values from the registry.

Execute Stage

This action backs up the registry values then deletes the defined registry values, if they exist.

Cleanup Stage

No action taken.

Rollback Stage
