Error when trying to run .reg on TC 32bit

Post by *b1Ack »

Total commander: 8.01 32 bit
OS: Windows 7 64bit

When trying to run registry file directly I get an arror:
Error executing program! (5)
(Программа не запускается! (5) in russian)

If I do it directly from explorer - there is normal prompt if I want to add data to registry. The same is all OK for TC 64bit. Also I can under TC 32bit call right click menu, select x64, open with..., regedit and get what I need.

Problem appears in both TC 32bit modes with cm_SwitchX64Redirection on and off, no difference.

Please tell if I doing something wrong or there is a workaround to get TC 32bit correctly work with double click on registry files ?

UPD: Solved. I was missing c:\Windows\SysWOW64\regedit.exe, after placed it on place from original W7 DVD with install.wim - problem gone.

Pay attention!

A 32-Bit instance of regedit will see the 32-Bit part of the registry:

To make this behavior nearly unpredictable, Regedit itself is a singleton:
If you have a already running instance of a 64-Bit Regedit, the import of the reg file is delegated to this instance...
