Add Registry File (Visual Basic) by DJeX on 12-19-2005 at 11:32 PM
How would I add a reg file to the registry useing Visual Basic? Like I know when you click a reg file it asks you if you want to add the infomation to the registry. But I want it so my VB program will add the reg file to the registry with out any question boxes.

You can use this command in your program if you want to call an external REG file:
code:
regedit /s [filename]

How would I do this? With the Shell function?

could I have an example because I put:
Shell ("regedit.exe" & "/s" & App.Path & "\" & "Backup\" & "activex.reg")
and that did not work.

You need a space between "/s" & App.Path I think, so make it:
code:
Shell ("regedit.exe /s " & App.Path & "\Backup\activex.reg")

That should work 
code:
Shell "regedit.exe /s " & App.Path & "\Backup\activex.reg"
