Change a registry value during Windows 8 Installation

[johnyept]

Hello.

Is there a way to add/change a registry value in HKLM\System during Windows 8 install, right after partitioning/applying the image to disk but before the first reboot?

Thanks for the reply, but I should have explained myself better. I meant some sort of unattended file I could add to the ISO to do it automatically during install..

All these years thinking that batch files have that use ....

whether you use good ol' batch file/approach by Fujianabc:

or the newish nice tool by JFX:

https://msfn.org/board/topic/149612-winntsetup-v392/

 you can add the needed offlinereg commands after they run, the Winntsetup has:

Quote

- /RunAfter:{command} - will run a command before reboot

and also:

Quote

- /regtweaks:(path) - let you set a folder with *.reg files that will be merged into the installation

that may (or may not) do what you need/want to do.
