Come on!  Don’t make me do things the easy way!

I’ll probably look at that, but now this thing is stuck in my craw, and I want 
to beat it!

Have you tried modifying the MSI with a Transform file?  That is best practices 
and you would have been done already.

Installed fine on my test machine and my main machine, but not on any others 
that I’ve tried.  Here’s the batch file again:

msiexec /i "%~dp0\Installer.msi" /qn

C:\Windows\sysnative\regedit.exe /s "%~dp0Change.reg"


Could it be the quotes around the reg file?

Like Daniel said, you command line needs to specify 
“c:\windows\sysnative\regedit.exe”

The package is 32-bit.  It installs in c:\program files (x86)

Here’s the reg file:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ProductX]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ProductX\appname]
"company"="Our Company"
"key"="xxxxxxx"

Is the application 32 or 64 bit?

Packages run as 32-bit, you may need to call c:\windows\sysnative\regedit.exe 
to call the 64-bit version, otherwise it will place it in 
HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node.

What hive is the .reg file writing to? Can you post the content of .reg file 
removing any personal information?

Subject: [mssms] Having trouble with this package

I have a simple program that I need to install, and I need to make a registry 
change along with it.  I chose to batch the process, and here’s what I have:

msiexec /i "%~dp0\install.msi" /qn

regedit /s  "%~dp0\change.reg"


The registry setting is not happening.  Therefore, the application opens in 
trial mode.  I’ve also tried reversing the order of these commands, and that 
install doesn’t seem to go anywhere.  I’ve looked at other packages that a 
coworker had done previously, and I’m not seeing any real differences.  If I 
open the ccmcache, and run the setup.bat as my administrator account, it works 
fine.  My SCCM service account is also a Domain Admin, so I’m not sure what the 
difference there would be, either.  Any help would be appreciated.
