Importing Win2k Regitry File

[Eric Ouvrie]

Hi,

In NwAdmn32 (executed from Public\Win32), I would like
to import a registry file (.REG) in an App object.
I made this file with the REGEDIT of Win2000.
NwAdmn32 returns :
"the file <filename> is an invalid registry file."
This procedure works fine with Win98 workstation.

Is there any snapin missing ?
Is there another method ?

Server : Nw4.11(SP9) Zen2(SP1 ; Pt3a)
W/S : Win2000 - client 4.8

This fix should be simple.

Change the first line of the reg file from

"Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00"

to

"REGEDIT4"

Sorry, it did not work.
The curious thing is, after the error message, the .REG file
remains opened/locked until exiting Nwadmn32.

I'm not sure what to say.

I was able to duplicate your initial problem, but was able to resolve it
by changing this line.

Could you perhaps post your REG File here so I can test it here?

I sent my .reg file to Craig and he gave me the answer.

FYI, my file was not a pure ASCII file. It was coded with UNICODE.

To resolve the problem, I opened it with Word and save it again as text file.

Thank you Craig.
