You can use the built in command line util regedit.exe: From your script, make a
callout to regedit to export the registry branch to a text file.

In the link below, there are some code that covers this.

Also, if you have access to the NT/Win2k resource kit, Reg.exe can be used
(doesn't work on Win9x/Me). Note that this will not create a registry file
structure on the "export":

Example:

REG.EXE QUERY HKLM\Software\Microsoft\ResKit\Setup /S
Displays all keys and values under the Setup sub-key.
/S, /s Queries all subkeys.

To redirect it to a file:

sBackupFile = "some file path here"
sRegPath = "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\ResKit\Setup"

Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
oShell.Run "%comspec% /c reg.exe QUERY " _
& Chr(34) & sRegPath & Chr(34) _
& " /S >" & sBackupFile, 0, True
