This was in the context of providing an application to some other user
on a different machine.  Providing a .reg file seems easiest to me
since the end user can just double click on that and import it
directly to make the necessary tweaks to their registry.

But sure, any approach that updates the registry entries (including
doing it as part of a full installation) would be fine too.
