Corrupting registry when importing a .reg file with a delete key in it

Description (last modified by Jpm)

When running the following code, it corrupts the Windows registry (none of the shortcuts in the start menu work afterwards) at least not on Windows Server 2008 HPC Edition (x64). Reg file imports fine from cmd line (reg.exe import C:\scripts\setupReg.reg). Seems to be working in 3.3.5.4-beta.

{{
RunWait("reg.exe import C:\scripts\setupReg.reg")
}}

Contents of C:\scripts\setupReg.reg:

{{
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

;
; Remove redundant Wow6432Node key if exists
;
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Wow6432Node]

}}

I don't understand the corruption you mention.
But to have it working you must launch Reg.exe in admin mode.
so you must add a #requireAdmin
