Script needed to change the SourcePath value in my Windows Server 2003 Registry

[Guest Spin]

Gurus,

 

I am trying to change just the SourcePath value in my Windows Server 2003

Registry via script. I want to change it from it's current value to

"D:\ENGLISH\WIN2003\32BIT\ENT_WITH_SP1\I386". What kind of simple script

would enable me to change just that one value? The path to that is:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion.

You could do it with a one-line command, based on regedit.exe:

Here's an example. Set the actual paths as required but note that they're

one level above the \i386 directory.

 

 

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

'Setup files

WshShell.RegWrite "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows

NT\CurrentVersion\SourcePath", "D:\ENGLISH\WIN2003\32BIT\ENT_WITH_SP1\"

WshShell.RegWrite

"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\SourcePath",

"D:\ENGLISH\WIN2003\32BIT\ENT_WITH_SP1\"

 

'Service pack source files

WshShell.RegWrite

"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\ServicePackSourcePath",

"D:\ENGLISH\WIN2003\32BIT\ENT_WITH_SP1\"
