Batch for .reg file

[Nic303]

I want to run a .reg file from SFX, after installation, without confirmation.

This can be done with a batch?

regedit /s MYREG.reg

pack the reg file right next to the cmd and when it expands in the temp folder it should run.

[Nic303]

Not working.

More details please.

Something like this maybe?

In WinRAR

;The comment below contains SFX script commands

Setup=regedit /s MYREG.reg

TempMode

Silent=1

Overwrite=1

Can someone explain step by step?

[MrJinje]

question. What software are you using to create your SFX file ?

WinRAR

Right-click the .reg file, select Add to archive..., click Create SFX Archive. In the Comment tab paste the lines I posted:

;The comment below contains SFX script commands

Setup=regedit /s NameOfYourRegFile.reg

TempMode

Silent=1

Overwrite=1

click OK to create the SFX and test it.

Works - add entries to registry.

But can WinRAR make this .reg file run automatically after main SFX installation?

I tried with this command: regedit /s MYREG.reg ... still not working.

Yes, call it from RunOnce or RunOnceEx with no silent switches (it's already silent, right?)

BTW, are you using a software like nLite or WPI?

Not in this case.

I have a folder with some files and .reg file inside.

I want to "merge" this .reg file automatically to registry, without confirmation, after SFX installation.

That's the tricky part.

It is very doable to add the files and the .reg in the SFX and they will extract and execute (merge), but how do you want to automate the procedure? What is so tricky? Do you want to start the installation in some special way?

[Nic303]

Nothing special.

But i can't make .reg file to execute after installation.

Which installation? of Windows?
