Reg_Import

Import a .reg file

Syntax

Reg_Import,RegFile

Parameters

This will download the latest version of reg2wbsprg.exe if not already downloaded and use it to convert the reg file to a script file using the -h -e -a parameters.

These cause the exe to add hive load / unload around the reg_add commands, replace environment variables with variable names and use the common api.

It will then execute the Process section in the generated script to apply the registry commands to the appropriate registry hive.

As a script file is being generated and executed then obviously the reg file must only contain registry values of the types supported by winbuilder.

Example

Reg_Import,temp.reg

If the reg file contains the following:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\Hybrid]
"AddDeviceSequence"=dword:0000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\Hybrid\Current]
"Mode"=hex:03,00,00,00,00,00,00,00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\NvCplApi\Policies]
"ContextUIPolicy"=dword:00000002
"CplGroupUIPolicy"=dword:00000002
"TaskbarUIPolicy"=dword:00000002

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\NvSvc]
"DrvUpdCtrlCode"=dword:00000081

then the following will be generated and imported into the software hive:
