January 23, 200719 yr Using Addon Maker for nLite to create addons for HFSLIP, I have several addons that use a custom batch file as the installation program. They all work fine after I correct simple user errors, but I have one addon in particular that has a line likeREGEDIT /S IZArcFileAssocs.regThis doesn't seem to be working, now I am wondering if REGEDIT can even run in an addon. Is it possible? (I know about REG.EXE so I'll use if I have to, assuming that works)
January 23, 200719 yr Are you sure that your REG file is valid?For instance having anything other than "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00" in the first line will cause REGEDIT to fail without any error popping up. It's happened to me before when I added a comment on the first line rather then further on down the file...
January 23, 200719 yr Author Are you sure that your REG file is valid?Yep, it does what I want if I double click on it manually.I think I'll take out the /S for troubleshooting purposes and see if I get any useful errors.
January 23, 200719 yr If you're using Win2K, you need full paths.%SYSTEMROOT%\REGEDIT /S IZArcFileAssocs.reg
January 23, 200719 yr Author If you're using Win2K, you need full paths.%SYSTEMROOT%\REGEDIT /S IZArcFileAssocs.regAh, thank you!
January 23, 200719 yr Author You can put reg files in the HFSVCPACK folder too.I know, but keeping it with the app seemed like the right thing to do -- for now.
January 23, 200719 yr Author tomcat76:Not only did the full path to REGEDIT fix my addon problem, you got me thinking I should put the full path to REGEDIT in my CMDLINES.TXT batch file as well, and this fixed a hair-pulling issue with my HKCU.reg..So double thanks!Thanks to all for the other suggestions, too.
