Hi,
hoping someone can help me out.
I need to inject a reg entry into the windows 8.1 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE RunOnce registry tree from within a WinPE 5.0 environment. So far I have the following as part of a command file;
REG LOAD HKLM\TEMP c:\windows\system32\config\software (To load the correct hive into a temporary subkey)
REG ADD HKLM\TEMP\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce /v Act /t REG_SZ /d "%Drive%\Activate.cmd" /f (to add the reg entry)
REG UNLOAD HKLM\TEMP (to unload the hive from the subkey)
Where %Drive& is the USB drive letter ... this all works .. but .. When checking the reg entry (using REG EXPORT to a file) is shows up as
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\TEMP\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\runonce]
"Act"="D:\\Activate.cmd"
Entry has two \\ instead of a single \ and does not execute the command file upon booting into Windows 8.1
Where have I gone wrong?
Cheers in advance for any help.
