SUMMARY

This document explains how to merge registry keys from a file into the user's registry.

Merging registry keys is a very easy process in Setup Factory 6.0. It involves nothing more than using an Execute File action and setting the Command line arguments to point to the registry file to be merged. As an example, we will merge c:\mykeys.reg into the user's registry:

Create a file execute action (Open/Close Programs > Execute File) with the following settings:

File to execute (path and file name):
%WinDir%\regedit.exe

Command line arguments:
/s c:\mykeys.reg
