How to run the .reg file using PowerShell?
How about using reg.exe instead of regedit.exe
Get-Command regCommandType Name Version Source----------- ---- ------- ------Application reg.exe 10.0.16... C:\Windows\system32\reg.exethis worked for me fine:
reg import .\test.reg
I use
Invoke-Command {reg import \\server\share\test.reg *>&1 | Out-Null}the last part
*>&1 | Out-Nullpipes the output to null so the console doesn't see it. I do not think this is required but it annoyed me.
You may be trying to run it with insufficient privileges. This snippet should work:
$startprocessParams = @{ FilePath = "$Env:SystemRoot\REGEDIT.exe" ArgumentList = '/s', 'C:\file.reg' Verb = 'RunAs' PassThru = $true Wait = $true}$proc = Start-Process @startprocessParamsif ($proc.ExitCode -eq 0) { 'Success!'}else { "Fail! Exit code: $($Proc.ExitCode)"}Pause
