@Wesmosis, im having that problem too in RYAN VM2.0.2 updates.. it was fixed after 2.0.3 & now that my curretn build is 2.0.4 updates of RYANVM, that bug is back again.. MMC files are responsible for that... i dunno but according to glent, a ryanvm add-on can fix that issue.. havent tested it yet..

I too have run into this issue, but only with Server 2003. I'm gonna try this fix when I get back (On vacation), but a suggestion would be to use the %WINDIR% variable which should resolve to your Windows folder. You would need to add the "System32" after it of course. I'm pretty sure a .reg file supports that. If not, you could always convert the command into a reg.exe syntax. Just a thought!
