How to avoid confirmation message when executing a .reg file with shellexecute command
Use the /s command-line switch. (see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/82821)
It's possible. Two methods are:
- %windir%\system32\regedit.exe /s file.reg
- %windir%\system32\reg.exe import file.reg
Either will silently import file.reg into the registry.
try this for importing the *.reg file,
procedure ImportRegistry;
var
strProgram :String ;
strCommand :String ;
fileOne :String ;
begin
fileOne:=ExtractFilePath(Application.ExeName)+ 'my_Resources\Default.reg';
strProgram := 'REGEDIT' ;
strProgram := strProgram + #0 ;
strCommand := '/SC /C ' + ExtractShortPathName(fileOne) ;
strCommand := strCommand + #0 ;
if ShellExecute(0,nil,@strProgram[1],@strCommand[1],nil,SW_HIDE) <= 32 then
begin
ShowMessage(SysErrorMessage(GetLastError)) ; //if there is any error in importing
end;
end;
Also you can try this link unitEXRegistry.pas
This unitEXRegistry.pas unit has very useful functions to export registry file and also import silently the exported *.reg file
procedure exportREgis;
var
texpr : TExRegistry;
begin
texpr:=TExRegistry.Create;
texpr.RootKey:=HKEY_CURRENT_USER;
texpr.OpenKeyReadOnly('\MyKey');
texpr.ExportKey (ExtractFilePath(Application.ExeName)+'ExportedReg.reg');
texpr.Free;
end;
Then to import you can use(silently)
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
texpr : TExRegistry;
begin
texpr:=TExRegistry.Create;
texpr.ImportRegFile('c:\myReg.reg');
texpr.Free;
end;
