Register.reg (Serial) file creation?

[RichTJ99]

Hi,

I noticed that some people have items in their runonceex.cmd files, that include an app on one line & a reg file after.

Example:

REG ADD %KEY%\015 /VE /D "Alcohol 120" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\015 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\apps\alcohol\setup.exe /qn" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\015 /V 2 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\apps\alcohol\register.reg" /f

I understand the first two lines of this but how do you setup a register file customized to the application?

Specificially I have Acrobat 6 Pro that I would like to install (i saw the other post) but how does one get the register.reg file done for that specific program (& other programs).

Is there a standard format?

Thanks,

Rich

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\6.0\Registration]
"SERIAL"="##############...."

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Distiller\6.0\Registration]
"SERIAL"="##############...."

You export them from their location in the Registry as you can see above.

The only standard part for XP registry is this: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

In addition to serials, your reg file may contain tweaks.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Alcohol Soft\Alcohol 120%\Basic]
"Auto Check New Version"="0"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Alcohol Soft\Alcohol 120%\Info]
"UserName"="some name"
"Company"="some company"
"SerialNo"="XXXX####X#X#X#..........................."

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Alcohol Soft\Alcohol 120%\Option]
"Language"="1033"

Actually, you must know what in your Registry to export for each application. In short, each app has its own keys that must be known in advance.

I wish I didn't misunderstand your inquiry.

Registration is done in many different ways, some are in the registry and some are not. You will have to check your registry, specifically in HKEY Local & Users in Software, and export the part that you think is your registration data

In your specific case mentioned, Adobe uses a serial (ie. its registration) that it requires during installation.
