How to run a .reg file
Hi all -

I'm currently trying to launch a .reg file.
I have used the ExecWait function, which is working fine with .exe, but does nothing with a .reg...

Any suggestion would be more than welcome.

Try ExecShell, NSIS User Manual, 4.9.1.3. But ExecShell not waits for operation to be complited. Another way - run regedit itself

ExecWait "regedit.exe your.reg"

ExecWait "regedit.exe /s your.reg"

It works perfectly using calling regedit...

Thank you to both of you

What's wrong with WriteReg* functions?

Joel -

WriteReg is fine when you do your stuff.
Here I'm using a reg file from another software and don't want to rewrite it in my code....

Thank you for the update I will try this function.
