Your application can configure all necessary MSMQ and NETREGD registry parameters by simply putting the necessary data in the registry. This can save you from including MSMQADM in the configuration. Look in the MSMQ Administration Guide for a description of all registry settings. Though some registry settings are optional, the following settings have to be set for MSMQ to run:

To install MSMQ as a device driver

• Set the following registry keys:

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\MSMQD]
      "Dll"="MSMQD.DLL"
      "Entry"="MSMQDInitialize"
      "Keep"=DWORD:1
      "Order"=DWORD:9

  To install NETREG as a device driver

  • Set the following registry keys:

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\NETREGD]
        "Dll"="NETREGD.DLL"
        "Entry"="NETREGDInitialize"
        "Keep"=DWORD:1
        "Order"=DWORD:8

    To provide minimal MSMQ configuration

    • Set the following registry keys:

      [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MSMQ\SimpleClient]
          "BaseDir"="\TEMP\MSMQ" ; or wherever you
      want to keep MSMQ store
          "CEStartAtBoot"=DWORD:1 ; start MSMQ at
      boot time     "DefaultQuota"=DWORD:300 ; limit
      on outgoing queues in kilobytes
          "PingPort"=DWORD:0x00000DC7 ; 3527 - don't
      change this!     "Port"=DWORD:0x00000709 ; 1801
      - don't change this!
          "QueueManagerGUID"=HEX:... ; 16 bytes of QM
      GUID. This number must be     unique, use
      standard GUID generation algorithm to obtain it.
          "CETrackNetwork"="Yes" ; not really
      required but strongly recommended

      To provide NETREG configuration

      • Set the following registry keys:

        [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\NETREG]
            "EmulateNB"=DWORD:1
            "TrackNetwork"=DWORD:1
            "Cycle"=DWORD:1000

        Note   Without MSMQADM.EXE you cannot start and stop MSMQ service dynamically. If, however, the CEStartAtBoot value of the MSMQ registry key is set to No, MSMQ will not start at the next reboot time.

        For more information about registry settings, see the MSMQ Administration Guide and a white paper called "Network fine-tuning of MSMQ" in the MSDN Library.
