[simon]

Hello,

i try to import a Reg file.
Adavance Installer show me:

AI.png (8.29 KiB) Viewed 8661 times

Installed Version 12.0 build 63246.

If i use regedit /s there is no problem.
What is wrong with the reg file?
Is this a bug?

I read other posts from previous versions of Advanced Installer with the same problem.
But i cant find a solution for this problem.

Any help?

Thanks

Simon

Hey Simon,

Could you show the first 10 lines of the registry file?

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Access\Security]
"Level"=dword:00000001

Ok, at least that looks good, BUT

Open the regfile in NotepadPlusPlus, and make sure the language (Registry file) is correctly detected, then save it with NotepadPlusPlus.
This ensures that hidden characters are removed from the file, afterwards try it again.

The registry file encoding needs to be "UCS-2 Little Endian". You can convert the file in notepad++ (Encoding > Convert to UCS-2 Little Endian) and re-save.

I convert the file to UCS-2 Little Endian.
Now i can import the file without error but nothing changed.
The key is not created.

It appears there is an extra space that is causing the registry entry not to import. See the attachment. There is a space after "Security]", before the new line (CRLF). If you delete this space and re-save, the registry file will import correctly.

Since the registry file will import into the windows registry just fine (even with the extra space), maybe AI can fix the registry import to handle the extra white space.

After i delete the space the import was successfull.
Thank you for patience.

The solution is:

Save the Regfile in UCS-2 Little Endian.
Delete extra spaces at the end of lines.
