Open RGS File
RGS extension files are used as scripts within C++ Active Template Library (ATL) projects, Microsoft Visual Studio, Flexera InstallShield, and other development programs and software deployment platforms.
Therefore, the RGS extension is considered multipurpose, but with the same practical utility.
The RGS file contains code that creates the necessary records for software deployment with Windows.
Registry scripts saved in an RGS file are often embedded in DLL files, which are then used to add, remove, or alter the Windows registry when an application is installed.
