Calling reg.exe in CustomAction
I would like to run reg.exe in SystemFolder in a CustomAction but I don't know how to set the commandline for it.
Via CMD command it e.g looks like this:
"reg add "HKCU\Software\Sysinternals\Streams" /v EulaAccepted /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f"
But how does the commandline look like when I call reg.exe directly in a CustomAction?
Thanks for help in advance

Why use a custom action?
Just add the entry to the Registry table.
Use a transform for a vendor msi.

Create a new registry component with the entry, condition it with REMOVE~="ALL" and associate it with a new or existing feature.

The cumstom action line should look the same as a command line. Since reg/reg.exe is in the path you could simply use reg add "HKCU\Software\Sysinternals\Streams" /v EulaAccepted /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
For programs not in the path one could use for example "[ProgramFilesFolder]directory\appname.exe" and for spaces quotes are needed. VBS's solution is probably more elegant.

This doesn't work for me.
I don't unfortunately know much about VBS...
I tried performing it with the commandline and it works great.
Thank you very much.
Cheers
