Registry Question

[Netman06]

Hello,

I have this small vbs script that I wanted to know, if there is a way that I can not have the information box popup.

Saying"Are you sure you want to add the information in I:\portable\lanview\lanview.reg to the registry?

Yes or No

I would like to have it overwrite, so I added to my code

, overrite = TRUE

Dim WSHShell ' declare the object variable

Set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WSHShell.Run "%comspec% /c " & strPath & "lanview.reg",overwrite = True

But it still asks, so what I'm I doing wrong. Any Ideas.

Thanks,

Mike

What about this ?
WSHShell.Run "regedit /s " & strPath & "lanview.reg"

Hope This Helps, PH.

call regedit.exe explicitly with a /s switch to import the reg file silently. (I think it is /s. Might be /q. Haven't done it i n a while.)

Yes, that did it. I used PHV's idea and it worked.

EBGreen, it is /s

Thanks,
