Hello!

Try using reg.exe instead of regedit.exe

For example (JScript):

var sRegFile = "[path_to_reg_file]\\test.reg";

if ( aqFile.Exists(sRegFile) ) {
  Log.Message("Registy file was found.");
  var WshShell, WshShellExec;
  WshShell = Sys.OleObject("WScript.Shell");
  WshShellExec = WshShell.Exec("C:\\Windows\\system32\\reg.exe import " + sRegFile);
  Delay(1000);  //some delay (if needed)
  if ( WshShellExec.ExitCode == 0 ) {
    Log.Message("The reg file was imported successfully.");
  } else {
    Log.Error("Importing the reg file failed.");
  }
} else {
  Log.Warning("Registy file was not found!");
}

    Hey Satan_Claus

    yes that's what I understood this morning.

    the script could be also :

     

      TestedApps.Clear;
      TestedApps.Add('C:\WINDOWS\system32\reg.exe', '', 1, true, 'C:\WINDOWS\system32');
      TestedApps.reg.Params.SimpleParams.CommandLineParameters:= 'import c:\yourRegFile.reg';
      TestedApps.reg.Params.SimpleParams.Activate;
      TestedApps.reg.Run(1, true);
