Reg Export

[mr-es335]

Good day,

ShellExecuteWait('REG', 'EXPORT "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FabFilter" "' & $_sSrcPath)

1) Launch the above one time...Ok!
2) Launch the above a second time...an "...already exists..." dialog "obviously" appears.
• See attached image...

Question: Is there any way to suppress this dlalog...and simply overwrite the destination?

Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for your time...appreciated!

REG EXPORT [ROOT\]RegKey FileName.reg [/Y] [/reg:32 | /reg:64]

ShellExecuteWait('REG', 'EXPORT "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FabFilter" "' & $_sSrcPath & '" /Y')

 

Edit: informative
I also noticed that the post order above is problematic
assuming your path is this   $_sSrcPath = "C:\Me\hkIm.reg"

with the command below the path it gives us is
ShellExecuteWait('REG', 'EXPORT "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FabFilter" "' & $_sSrcPath)

EXPORT "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FabFilter" "C:\Me\hkIm.reg     * " is missing

the right one should have been
ShellExecuteWait('REG', 'EXPORT "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FabFilter" "' & $_sSrcPath & '"')

which was merged with the dialog confirmation switch
ShellExecuteWait('REG', 'EXPORT "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FabFilter" "' & $_sSrcPath & '" /Y')

ioa747,

First...thank for update on the missing file....which i have summarily added...

Second, thanks for the clarification on "ShellExecuteWait".
• It would appear that I have not really understood the purpose of this function.
