#207073 - 2013-04-08 12:53 PM Merge A Reg File
Fergieman Fergieman Getting the hang of it Registered: 2010-02-25 Posts: 58 Loc: Ireland	Hi , I need to merge a 100 or more Reg key for an internal application we have. I have the valid exported reg key and I want to run it at logon via my kixtart script but it refuses to run or merge the file even though it says it has imported successfully. Am I missing something? I can run the same command via a batch file and it works fine. Shell 'REGEDIT /s "C:\CHANGES.REG" ' Thought this would be pretty easy !

If the latter, a regular user may not have permissions to do this. Glenn _________________________ Actually I am a Rocket Scientist! $\:D$

Fergieman Fergieman Getting the hang of it Registered: 2010-02-25 Posts: 58 Loc: Ireland	Nope , that doesnt seem to import the reg key. Again , like the script I had written , it looks like it has worked but the reg is empty.

Fergieman Fergieman Getting the hang of it Registered: 2010-02-25 Posts: 58 Loc: Ireland	Hi , I am running the script under my account which has full admin rights to the pc. If I manually double click on the reg file and import it works. I don't want to walk around and do this for 150 pcs !

Arend_ Arend_ MM club member Registered: 2005-01-17 Posts: 1896 Loc: Hilversum, The Netherlands	Alternatively try this: Code: Shell 'REG IMPORT C:\CHANGES.REG'

Fergieman Fergieman Getting the hang of it Registered: 2010-02-25 Posts: 58 Loc: Ireland	how annoying......I got it sorted. I'm using a virtual sequenced scripter app which must be running under a system account when lauching. Once I saved the file and ran the file through dos it imported the reg file !!
