No, what i was saying is why don't you add the value directly from the reg file, something like this:

Windows Registry Editor 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Package\Protocol\StdFileEditing\Server]

@="%systemroot%\system32\packager.exe /f"

and just merge the reg file.

Or this doesn't work either?

And BTW, why on earth would one want to complicate things by fiddling with reg files instead of just dropping the update on the hf folder?

@jvidal

Because the update can't be slpstreamed from HF It belongs to HFSVCPACK_SW1. Using the reg file is faster and saves space.

The registry entry is not "%systemroot%\system32\packager.exe". It reflects your real system path so on my system it is:

C:\WINNT\system32\packager.exe

for other people it may be

C:\WINDOWS\system32\packager.exe

that's why it's necessary to use "cmd /c reg.exe" to get the real value for %systemroot%

Ok. All clear. It seems env. variables are not converted.

@Mim0

This reg file can be used instead of KB2603381 (HFSVCPACK_SW1):

Windows2000-XP-2003-KB2603381-x86-XXX.reg

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce]
"KB2603381"="cmd.exe /c \"reg.exe ADD HKCR\\Package\\protocol\\StdFileEditing\\server /ve /d %systemroot%\\system32\\packager.exe /f\""

I didn't test this, but if %systemroot% contains spaces, I think this patch will fail.

Can %systemroot% contain spaces?

system variables NEVER have spaces...

system variables NEVER have spaces...

I meant the Windows directory. %ProgramFiles% can have spaces ("Program Files") but I don't think that the Windows directory can.
