Hi,

does anyony know if regedit.exe, called to process data from an input
reg file, returns with a sensible exit code?
I'd like to know if reg file data was processed successful or not.

Example:
regedit.exe /s mydata.reg

if errorlevel 1 echo "error while processing reg file..."
....

Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Andy

Then remove the /s switch.

All the /s switch does is suppress these popups...

I have been getting error code 0 back with a similar run. Using psexec.exe \\computer -u domain\admin -p password regedit.exe c:\myregfile.reg

Running it locally it runs fine, but run it from an admin machine and it fails out with:

Connecting to computer...Starting PsExec service on computer...Connecting with PsExec service on computer...Starting regedit.exe on computer...
regedit.exe exited on computer with error code 0.

qe: running psservice.exe however in the same cmd structure runs just fine...i can start, stop and restart services np.
