[SOLVED] Registry export

[nend]

Hi guys,

 

What is wrong with this line?

ShellExecuteWait("REG", "EXPORT HKCU\SOFTWARE\Nend Software\Tray Radio" & @ScriptDir & "\test.reg")

I try to export a registry key but couldn't get this to work.

Is this a safety issue from windows or do I use shellexecute the wrong way?

Have you tried:

Run(@ComSpec & " /c REG EXPORT HKCU\SOFTWARE\Nend Software\Tray Radio " & @ScriptDir & "\test.reg")

 

[nend]

@Subz

This gives exactly the same problem.

The test.reg file hasn't been made.

Sorry missed your space in the reg you need to use, something like this:

Run(@ComSpec & ' /c REG EXPORT "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Nend Software\Tray Radio" "' & @ScriptDir & '\test.reg"')

ShellExecuteWait('REG', 'EXPORT "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Nend Software\Tray Radio" "' & @ScriptDir & '\test.reg"')

You have to use double quotes in command lines when spaces are in it.

Have you tried the RegFunc UDF, its a great UDF.

And this works also fine, thanks for your reply.
