Integrate a .reg File in setupreg.hiv

[pointertovoid]

Hello everybody!

Just like many people, I'd like to have my personal preferences integrated to the installation of Win right from the beginning by modifications in the registry.

Though, using some kind of .bat file isn't very convenient:

- Some modifications are best done very early, for instance enabling BigLba on W2ksp4 (at best before installation begins)

- Modifying setupreg.hiv can be better, but the commands for Reg.exe aren't as clear as they could be

- One may want to change many keys, for instance for timezones

- Higher risk of errors which can't be seen quickly

So the easiest way would be a program that takes a normal .reg file and injects the changes in setupreg.hiv: we could export .reg files from a Windows tuned as one likes it and duplicate the tuning in the next installation.

- Does such a program already exist?

- Or is it feasible, and would someone want to write it?

- Maybe simpler: a program that takes a list of .reg files and turns them into a .bat file understandable by Reg.exe?

Thanks!
