Hi,

until now, we excecuted manually (with double-click) a \*.res file for to set 50 registry values into the registry.

We would like to automate this with FinalBuilder.

FinalBuilder has the functionality "Set Registry Value" under "Registry & Ini" but this allows only to set

one registry value.

It would be tedious to use the "Set Registry Value" functionality for each of the 50 values.

&nbsp;

Are there any other possibilities to set a long list with registry values with FinalBuilder?

&nbsp;

Thanks,

&nbsp;

Jens

You can use a list iterator (that will iterate over a list of values, in your case registry keys), and then use the Set Registry Key as a child action of the iterator. You’ll need to define a variable to hold the current value of the iterator to use in the Set Registry action.

The other thing you may want to consider is to use the “Execute Program” action to run the program   
  
 %SystemRoot%\regedit.exe   
  
 with arguments   
  
 /S “C:\Path\To\Regfile.reg” (or similar)   
  
 … that will register the contents of the .reg file without prompting.
