Vista - merge *.reg into registry by vbscript?

I need to merge a reg file into my registry before starting another Windows
application. Can this be done with vbscript? I know how to start my
application I just need a tip on how to merge the registry. These Oracle
connecting apps need conflicting settings which I need to switch before
running them. Perhaps it would be better to merge both settings files to
temporary branches and only rename the top level key when needed. Any good
ideas?

thanks

this one:
@echo off
regedit /s c:\LJB.reg
start /b "Oracle" "c:\Program Files\Oracle\...exe"

news:eYuGAwplJHA.4028@xxxxxxI'm beginning to think so too. I've tried a number of variations of
WshShell.Run such as "regedt32 /s C:\ljb.reg" and "regedit /s C:\ljb.reg"
without any luck. I'm running XP so I think it should be regedt32 but I'm
wondering if security is preventing vbscript from changing the registry.

news:eyXkQ3plJHA.1340@xxxxxxNo, regedt32 was a variant of regedit.exe under Windows 2000. Under WinXP
it's always regedit.exe.

You can, of course, use a VB Script file to write data into the registry.
It's more involved than the batch file solution but it can be done. You
mention that you were unsuccessful for reasons unknown - let's have a look
at your script and the error message you see!

some spaces in it. Its working now.

thanks
