you have to use explicit naming for registry keys - i.e. you can't specify '*\Tahoma.ttf', you'll have to explicitly specify 'Windows\Fonts\Tahoma.ttf' (example).

Your best bet, if you need this type of functionality, is the Registry plug-in:
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Registry_plugin

Use that plugin to find the registry value that matches what you need and delete it, then repeat until no more can be found.

I understand you, In your file Registry.zip, It's directory source, I don't know use language C++ of company to compile as borland C++, Turbo C++,... could you tell me ?

You don't need to compile since the compiled version is already there. Just extract the files in the proper folders and you're good to go.

In all plugins, the directory sturcutre within the NSIS program files directory is like this:

• plugins - this is where the actual plugin (dll) goes
  
• examples - this is where you find example scripts
  
• include - this is where you find useful headers (NSH files) that you include in your scripts. (See the examples folder to see how this is done.)

As far as I know, plugins aren't required to be compiled by anything specific. But that probably depends on the individual author(s).

Short of contacting each author directly, you might check out this FAQ:

Use EnumRegValue and do string matching on each found value name.
