Problem with registry import

R

Roland Mösl

I just tried to install Active Perl built 522
on an other Windows 7 - 64 Bit notebook.

A normal install is not possible,
because the installer is 16 bit software.

I used regedit
I searched for "Perk"
I copied all registry entries with Perl
into a text file.

Perl is installed in c:\perl
I copied this folder on the other notebook.

I tried to start the file,
but I got the alert message

c:\perl\perl-windows-7-64.reg
can not be imported: error at access
to the registry

To check this file, I had it uploaded to

http://cgi.pege.org/perl-windows-7-64.reg

where is the problem?

You realize, not everything in that file was "gold".

This binding, for example, is applicable to your personal
machine. If you do an "Open with" kind of operation,
these choices would appear in *your* menu, but these choices
may be inappropriate for someone else. Perhaps they don't
have UltraEdit or whatever uedit32.exe corresponds to.
So not everything you've captured, should be given to
others.

"a"="perl.exe"
"MRUList"="a"
"b"="NOTEPAD.EXE"
"c"="iexplore.exe"
"d"="uedit32.exe"
"e"="arach.exe"

Sure, but it's for maybe 20 users migrating in the next years,
only one of them looks at perl script files,
all the others are only users.
