Some programs need to be started with the system, or some file associations need to be established. These are the results of operating the registry in the installer. In Inno Setup , the operation of the registry is realized through the [registry] section.
This paragraph states:
parameter list:

| Subkey |

| ValueType |

一路Next到底，安装完成后可以检查注册表：
确实添加到注册表中去了，通过金山卫士也证实了这一点：
由于使用的标志位是uninsdeletevalue，所以卸载软件将会自动删除该值，如果使用uninsdeletekey的话，该键下的其他值都会被删除，这不是一个很好的方法，除非你确定使用的是自己的专用键，否则不推荐使用。
