What do I have wrong here ?

[bobheart]

Run(@ComSpec & " /k REGEDIT /E %Temp% \Hotfixes.dat HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Hotfix > hotfix.txt")

Won't print out the info ?

[emmanuel]

take out the space between %TEMP% and \hotfixes.dat

[bobheart]

Still no worky ?

[bobheart]

Is there a better way then how i'm doing ?

[SlimShady]

Run(@ComSpec & " /k REGEDIT /E %Temp% \Hotfixes.dat HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Hotfix > hotfix.txt")

Won't print out the info ?

I don't know the syntax of that command (REGEDIT /E),

so I can't guarantee this will work.

PS. All in one line.

Run(@ComSpec & ' /c REGEDIT /E %Temp%\Hotfixes.dat "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Hotfix" > "' & @ScriptDir & '\hotfix.txt"')

No that didn't work .

I got this from a bat file so all post the file here so you can look at it .

I have no idea, I haven't played with exporting or importing the registry via command line. and of course, the registry editor helpfile doesn't mention it's own command line options... a quick google search... found this which shows that /e exports to a file... so the >hotfixes.txt wouldn't get anything passed to it, besides maybe a success or fail message from the app? I figure if I were to do what you're trying I'd do it like this:

Run(@ComSpec & " /c REGEDIT /E %Temp%\Hotfixes.txt HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Hotfix")

I changed the /k to a /c because I don't want the CMD window hanging around, and the hotfixes.dat to hotfixes.txt, since I think what you're looking for would be there.

You could also look into using RegEnumKey which is in the unstable build...

This is from your batch file:

:: Gather info from the registry
REGEDIT /E "%Temp%.\Hotfixes.dat" "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Hotfix"

And this is from your AutoIt3 script:

REGEDIT /E %Temp% \Hotfixes.dat HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Hotfix > hotfix.txt

I notice 4 differences in these two lines and usually a difference in the command line results in a completely different meaning.
