inno setup - registry key vs. .ini files
- by PPTim
Hi,
Dabbling with creating an installer with inno setup- but wondering:
What are the pros and cons of using registry keys (windows program) vs. .ini files that sit within the program folder?
If I store all my user settings in .ini files, the entire program can be removed by deleting the folder.
With registry keys i'd have to create an uninstaller / remove the key manually.
Why is it that most commercial applications use registry values?
I know from brief use of Macs that most programs are drag and drop. Are one of the major reasons because of the lack of a registry key in mac OS?
