The common way is to write a registration script (.rgs file), bind it as
a resource to your executable, and refer to it with
DECLARE_REGISTRY_RESOURCEID macro. Use the wizard to generate a new
project (remember to uncheck the Attributed checkbox) and insert a
simple COM object, just to see what an .rgs file looks like.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925
