Virtual Registry in BoxedApp Packer
BoxedApp Packer includes a virtual registry, which is a simulated set of registry keys and values visible only to the packed application and other processes within the same virtual environment.
The virtual registry allows your application to read and write registry data without modifying the real Windows registry.
This makes it ideal for portable or sandboxed applications that need to operate with specific configuration values or registered components, while keeping the host system clean.
The virtual registry is useful when you want to:
- Provide predefined registry settings to the packed application.
- Emulate component registration (for example, COM or ActiveX).
- Test application behavior in isolation from the system registry.
- Keep user environments unaffected by registry modifications.
