I want to run the .reg file (registry file) using PowerShell Script but I am not able to run it. When i run it manually it creates the respective nodes in registry but i want it execute using powershell script. Below is the code which i tried using but got no results -
$PathofRegFile="c:\file.reg" regedit /s $PathofRegFile Another code which i tried was this -
Start-Process -filepath "C:\windows\regedit.exe" -argumentlist "/s c:\file.reg" Please Help..!
Below is the Content of my .reg file

How about using reg.exe instead of regedit.exe
Get-Command reg CommandType Name Version Source ----------- ---- ------- ------ Application reg.exe 10.0.16... C:\Windows\system32\reg.exe this worked for me fine:
reg import .\test.reg 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 } $proc = Start-Process @startprocessParams if ($proc.ExitCode -eq 0) { 'Success!' } else { "Fail! Exit code: $($Proc.ExitCode)" } Pause I use
Invoke-Command {reg import \\server\share\test.reg *>&1 | Out-Null} the last part
*>&1 | Out-Null pipes the output to null so the console doesn't see it. I do not think this is required but it annoyed me.
You can use this :
Start-Process -filepath "$env:windir\regedit.exe" -Argumentlist @("/s", "`"C:\file.reg`"") This is what I use
regedit /s "c:\file.reg"
