#211925 - 2016-08-31 11:12 PM Run "regedit.exe" in Windows 10
MSC MSC Just in Town Registered: 2008-01-30 Posts: 1	Hello! I'm testing an existing Kix script on Windows 10. Everything works fine, on Windows 7, but the following line does not actually do anything, for some reason, when run on Windows 10. Logged on user is in the Administrators group and UAC is off. Run "regedit /s " + Chr(34) + "\\fs1\solidedge$\CurrentVersion\64-bit\Addins\Cideon\CurrentRelease\Custom\Registry\RemoveSettings.reg" + Chr(34) I've even tried to just get the script to open regedit.exe, without success. I can get it to open notepad.exe, without issue. I also tried with the reg file on my hard drive, instead of the network, but still no success. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. MSC

You are likely going to have to find another way. What is the contents of the reg file? Very likely it can be done right in kixtart with writevalue(), etc. _________________________ (... better days ahead)

This does assume you're starting the process as a member of the administrators group. Something like Code: Shell 'psexec.exe -s kix32.exe myscript.kix' You might also try "-h" to run with the elevated token instead of "-s". Note that PSExec running as System won't have network access, so you might want to first copy the .REG file to the local temp folder and reference it from there instead of the UNC location.

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	my psexec lines doing stuff remotely on any Windows platform we have (including the latest), look like this recently: Code: $result = WshPipe($psexec + $s + ' -u ' + $rA + ' -p ' + $rP + ' -h -s -accepteula ' + $c[$e], 1) $result = join($result, @crlf) where WshPipe is a stripped version of the originals to be found in the UDF Library section... $psexec represents the path to the executable in my folder structure $s is of course the remote system name or IP address $rA is the account that has elevated rights on the remote (normally I use different ones encrypted locally to try from least privileged to most) $rP will be the corresponding password (a bit unsafe to do so I guess) $c[$e] is, in this case I copied from, the current command to execute remotely in my loop.. , 1) is to let WshPipe not echoing.. who needs consoles to pop up anyway $\:\)$ In retrospective.. psexec is a tool I love. Thanks Mark R. $\:D$ _________________________
