I keep seeing this app that will help you import registry entries and now I'm wandering if any of you know about reg.exe in the C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder that is designed to do all of this for you. You DON'T need some 3RD PARTY program to do this.

All you have to do is add a line similar to the one below to your RunOnce tab in your Unattended options or add this to a batch file.
\REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Setup\7.0" /v DoNotAllowIE70 /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f


For examples of command line switches type reg /? in your Command Prompt window.

I tried and tested with VirtualBox (Virtual Machine Software like VMWare) and it worked flawlessly.

reg2inf DOES NOT import registry files.

It converts them to inf format. (For use in true addons.)

Kelsenellenelvian is correct. The program name is derived from its function: It converts *.REG files to *.INF format.

You need to read up on the program before you trash on it. ;)

I have 290 reg files with all my settings and tweaks. Easier to use Reg File Merger and make 1 file that I import at runonce than adding 290 lines to my runonce. ;)

Someone created a file called "reg2inf.exe" that was "commandline"-driven...hope he doesn't mind, but i wrote a GUI for it...
Please note that the original "reg2inf"-file is embedded into the GUI, so you don't need the original "reg2inf.exe"-file...
