Parse a Registration Entries (.reg) File

Hello group,

I am working on a C# app that pushes out registry settings to a number
of computers. My thought was to parse a registry export (.reg) file,
and then use RegistryKey.Ope nRemoteBaseKey to update the remote
computer.

Questions: is this a decent way of automating registry updates? Is
there any sample code on parsing .reg files?

Thanks in advance,

If the computers are part of a domain, I would use Group Policy to push
out the registry settings.

Good point. No, unfortunately, these servers are across different
domains and OUs.

I have a .reg file that I need to run across a network.

Hi, Does anybody knows how to run a *.reg-file silently on a computer? I need this to do automatic updates of my application without user-interaction. So I don't want the user to be asked a confirmation before writing everything to the registry, and I don't want a succes-or-error-message at the end. Any help would be really appreciated!

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
