Can anyone tell me please how to extract the data from a .reg file into the registry?
I’ve tried:
system("regedit /s product.reg");
It doesn’t work, I have also looked at various other questions on here but have had no joy and I have also trouble understanding them.
Can anyone shed any light or send me a link that has a good example please?
Thanks
The following things applies to Windows Vista / Windows 7 and later version.
You won’t be able to successfully execute regedit.exe unless your application is not running with Administrator privilege.
If you’re using Visual Studio 2005/2008/2010, go to the property window of your project, expand the ‘Linker’ options, and select ‘Manifest File’. Change UAC Execution Level to ‘requireAministrator’. Save your project and rebuild your project.
