Hey, I am simply trying to merge a .reg file into my registry using a very basic c++ program.
The code is as follows:
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
st开发者_StackOverflowring file = "regedit.exe new.reg";
const char* ctv = file.c_str();
system(ctv);
system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}
I've also tried using these system commands:
ShellExecute(GetDesktopWindow(), "open", "new.reg", NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);
system("reg import new.reg");
system("regedit/s new.reg");
system("new.reg");
but they work no better. The very interesting thing is that if I go to Start, Run, and type in "regedit.exe new.reg" The registry WILL update; just not when I run the .exe program. Any thoughts?
Check out programmatically merge .reg file into win32 registry and additionally import .reg files using win32 or other libraries.
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724889%28VS.85%29.aspx as well which might help.
RegLoadKey Function
Creates a subkey under HKEY_USERS or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and loads the data from the specified registry hive into that subkey.
Applications that back up or restore system state including system files and registry hives should use the Volume Shadow Copy Service instead of the registry functions.
Just FYI, here is the piece of code from the linked open-source project which handles imports:
void CMainFrame::ImportRegistryFiles(CString csFileName)
{
CStdioFileEx sfRegFile;
TRY
{
sfRegFile.Open(LPCTSTR(csFileName),CFile::modeRead | CFile::typeText);
}
CATCH( CFileException, e )
{
CString csError = _T("");
csError.Format(_T("File could not be opened: %s"), e->m_cause);
MessageBox(csError,_T("Import Error"), MB_OK|MB_ICONERROR);
return;
}
