Small question about Run and .Reg files

[SuperNatural]

Hello,

I'm trying to run a .Reg file Silently, using Run.

I succeed by this method:

Run("REGEDIT /S Test.reg")

But, I was trying to run a .Reg file from another folder silently, and nothing happend.

I was trying to do it this way:

Run("REGEDIT /S", @ProgramFilesDir & "Test.reg")

And no success :/

Why's that? I'll be glad to get help !

Thank you.

Are you trying to write to HKLM? if so, you need admin rights, that's maybe your issue

You are right, thank you.

Well, any way to bypass that thing or something? Because in my computer, I have admin rights, and it doesn't work :/

Add 

#RequireAdmin

to code.

When doing stuff like this I always run a sanity check to make sure my path is correct

$test = (@ProgramFilesDir & "\test.reg")
ConsoleWrite("test = " & $test)

@SuperNatural : you code cannot work because of the wrong syntax you use.

Replace Run() by ShellExecute, or change your code like this :

Run('REGEDIT /s "' & @ProgramFilesDir & '\Test.reg"')

Also #RequireAdmin is needed if the UAC is enabled

First, thank you all.

jguinch - the code you changed for me works pretty well. I may run the .Reg file from a different folder, but still, can't change the HKLM (only CURRENT_USER).

That's weird, because my UAC is disabled. Also, I tried to add #RequireAdmin, but it seems nothing happend :/

It needs to be added at the top of your script.

You can use RegWrite with autoit if it isn't a big reg file
