In this dialog, you can change the Component Policy for files and registry entries.

Registry Component Policy

In this section you can configure the Component policy for the Registry.

Check this option to create a component for each registry value that is created.

One component per registry key

If this option is checked, for registry keys with multiple registry values only a component will be created.
