Calling a reg file from cmdlines.txt

[zedox]

Hey, I want my cmdlines.txt file to call a registry file from a folder on the cd...

what code do i need to make this happen?

The reg file is called RegistryTweaks.reg and is located ina folder called "Registry Tweaks" within the $OEM$ folder on my UA CD.

"REGEDIT /s Registry Tweaks/RegistryTweaks.reg"

Doesnt work.

I agree. Start simple, then make it more advanced. It may have a problem with the long filenames not being within their own quotes.

What if you change what you have

REGEDIT /s Registry Tweaks/RegistryTweaks.reg

to this

REGEDIT /s Registry Tweaks\RegistryTweaks.reg

The only difference being the \ instead of /

This is how I have my reg tweaks in my Cmdlines.txt

[COMMANDS]"REGEDIT /S MediaPlayer-HK_U_D.reg"

"REGEDIT /S wmp10.reg"

"REGEDIT /S 000.reg"

"REGEDIT /S 020.reg"

"REGEDIT /S 040.reg"

"REGEDIT /S 060.reg"

"REGEDIT /S 080.reg"

"UserAcount.cmd"

"UaPrestart.cmd"

"RunOnceEx.cmd"

Its bizarre, as i call my .cmd file from a folder too.

this is my cmdlines.txt

[COMMANDS]
"REGEDIT /S Registry Tweaks/RegistryTweaks.reg"
"Batch Tweaks/RunOnceEx.cmd"

The RunOnceEx.cmd runs fine, but RegistryTweaks.reg doesn't work.

@Nepali

I can't see how posting whats in my .cmd file would be of any help.

I totally agree with exrcizn, no /:s in local paths!

You could also try using foldernames without spaces.

Putting .\ or just \ right before the path (.\Registry Tweaks\RegistryTweaks.reg) is another thing to try.

OK cool, I've tested it using cmd.exe on a running version of Windows.

It seems to work with backslashs, so I'll try the UA disc ona test machine now.

Cheers.

Registry Tweaks has a space in its name and will not be accepted as correct cmdlines syntax.

Rename the directory to REG_TWKS and see if either of these works

"REGEDIT /s REG_TWKS\RegistryTweaks.reg"

"REGEDIT /s ..\$OEM$\REG_TWKS\RegistryTweaks.reg"

its the problem with the space in folder and filenames, use smaller names and it will work
