Run .reg file when app starts

When my VB App starts, I need to check if there are registry keys setup for it. If there are not any found, is there a way to run a .reg file that will be stored in a directory on my harddrive to install all the necesary regestry keys? I have exported the keys that I need to be installed and strored them in a file called MyApp_HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.reg on the C:\ Drive.

Thanks

Not difficult, use the following code:

Code:

---

Sub SetReg(RegFile as String)
  Shell "regedit " & RegFile
End Sub

---

The only problem I have with this code is that some computers will display a message box after running the reg file that says something like "the information was added to the registry" and it likes to hide behind your app.
