The system cannot find the file specified I currently have the line below to execute the reg file. If I paste the quoted line in my run box the reg file runs fine. what do i need to do to get this to work. once ive got it running I then need to put in the /s for a silent run of the reg file..

Briegel Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 RunWait("regedit.exe /s \\server\it$\Software\Other\PaintShop Pro\PaintShop Pro.reg") That's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravenlark Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 (edited) Run('"\\server\it$\Software\Other\PaintShop" Pro\PaintShop Pro.reg')I tend to use chr(34) for hard path quotes; just my preference. I find it easier to read.Run("Regedit /s " & chr(34) & "\\server\it$\Software\Other\PaintShopPro\PaintShop Pro.reg" & chr(34)); Note the space after the regedit /s.

PartyPooper Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 *.reg files don't get executed, you either merge them into the registry using regedit as suggested above or open them for editing using notepad (or any other text editor). The RUN or RUNWAIT command can be used for both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiners_68 Posted June 22, 2006 Author Share Posted June 22, 2006 this finally worked.. RunWait("regedit.exe /s ""\\server\it$\Software\Other\PaintShop Pro\PaintShopPro_mod.reg") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
