Is it possible to create a vault view by only changing/creating the registry values?

If I just create the following key with all the values, is that all that's required?

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\SolidWorks\\Applications\\PDMWorks Enterprise\\Databases\\MyVault

Would it be better to use REG ADD (in batch script) or just import a .reg file?

I'd like to do this in a batch script that is run post installation.
