Start an application as a Service

[Maverick682]

Hi Everyone

Wondering if someone could shed a bit of light on this one?

Below is my .reg file to install and run Ultravnc SC as a Service.

Here is my problem:

If I double click the file and install or import it into the registry, it works fine.

All of the instance are installed in the registry as follows:

VNCsupport

+Parameter

+Security

+Enum

If I try and run it with Run("REGEDIT /S "&"VNCsupport.reg") or Run("REGEDIT /S " "VNCsupport.reg")

I can only see the Security one installed as follows:

VNCsupport

+Security

Anyone any ideas, or if anyone has a better way that would be great because this is driving me nuts!!!!

Many Thanks

Maverick

Are you sure that it's not some slippery char or line in your script? because I tried the two methods - direct reg and Run func and both work great...

Could always try RegWrite()

Could always try RegWrite()

Thanks for your replies

It definatly won't work with the RUN command within Autoit.

This was the easy option, now it seems I have to go down AzKay's route.

As I have no idea how to start with the RegWrite commands, and I don't understand how to impement the above into Autoit, (Zero programming experience/knowledge) could someone please give me an example using the .reg above.

I looked at the command reference for RegWrite and RegDelete and came out it a cold sweat.

Once I have this one resolved I will need one to remove the entries.

Any assistance much appreciated

WOW WOW

Thanks Authenticty

You guys SCARE the living daylights out of me with what you can do programming in a short space of time.

I am not a programmer as you have probably gathered and know nothing about it.

Is there anything I need to do with the code apart from inserting it into Autoit?

Is there anything else required to make it work?

Thanks again
