HELLO GUYS,

I'm creating a project in vb.net that will create a .reg file and silently add it to the registry.
I know how to create .reg file but I don't know how to silently add it to the registry .

Is it possible to create a .reg file and directly add it to the registry ? If that so, how can I do that ?
boogy; I will put your name on my project as soon as I finish it as contributor to my project. boogy;

SUMMARY PROBLEM :

* Add silently .reg file to registry file
* If possible create .reg file directly to Registry

Thanks for reading this and your awesome for helping me (in advance) clapper; clapper;

I was just asking lol if its changing the license then there should be no issue in the user getting a notification to change registry keys or just make it a requirement that the user has to have UAC or ran as an administrator thats the only way i know

Hey #Rhez,

Regarding licensing, you can use some sort of RSA encrypted licensing file and store it in AppData or the current working directory! It should work as expected. [Trust me, 5 years of research in this field] :) Should you need any code, PM me!

Cheers!

Thanks for that tips sir :D But I just want all my work go to be easy.
I'll make a .reg file just like this

[HKEY--BLAHBLAHBLAH]
"name"=" FreeUSER "
"key"="ABCD-EFGH-IJKL-MNOP"
...

just like that then silently add it to the registry. Can anyone help ?

Why not just use VB built in registry functions: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/85t3c3hf.aspx

Well, you CAN use that, but should you? The user can change it! Have some sort of private/public (Asymmetric) algorithm to check the signature of the key!

You can import the data with regedit in silent mode:
Code: Select all
        Dim psi As ProcessStartInfo = New ProcessStartInfo()
        psi.FileName = "regedit.exe"
        psi.Arguments = "/s file.reg"

        Process.Start(psi)
