    regsvr32 /s twext.dll and regsvr32 /u /s twext.dll giving Exit Code: 4 on Execute Remote Command. Please advise.

    BatchPatch returns the error that was reported by regsvr32 on the target machine, so I don’t think this is a BP error, but rather it’s an error from regsvr32. Googling reveals that the exit 4 is probably indicating an issue with locating the dll in question. Perhaps try the full path instead of just the .dll name?

    Wow… Thank you so much for the quick response and the suggestion. I did some research and ran a test and it turns out that it was failing because it didn’t have the proper registry entry. I found these two settings and created two batch files.

    Shadow Copies Disable.bat

    regsvr32 /u /s twext.dll

    if errorlevel 1 REG ADD HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorer /V NoPreviousVersionsPage /T REG_DWORD /D 1

    Shadow Copies Enable.bat

    regsvr32 /s twext.dll

    if errorlevel 1 REG ADD HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorer /V NoPreviousVersionsPage /T REG_DWORD /D 0

    The first time I execute the batch file using Deploy Software batch/script/regkey/etc it worked great but when I run the opposing batch file it shows “Deployment: Executing” and the the path to the copied bat file on the target machine.

    I tested the batch file and the first time I ran it on my system it worked as expected but the second time it prompted me for a response. How can I force it to say ‘Yes’? Thanks again for the quick response Doug!

    rentVersionExplorer /V NoPreviousVersionsPage /T REG_DWORD /D 1

    Value NoPreviousVersionsPage exists, overwrite(Yes/No)?

    Forgot to add, that after I manually type in Yes and press Enter, each of the batch files work as expected. I was hoping to get some assistance as to how to automate that response into the is process somehow? Thank you!

    Maybe try /f which according to the link below “Adds the registry entry without prompting for confirmation.”

    Adding the /f at the end of the script worked great! Thank you Doug!

    Shadow Copies Disable.bat

    regsvr32 /u /s twext.dll

    if errorlevel 1 REG ADD HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorer /V NoPreviousVersionsPage /T REG_DWORD /D 1 /f

    Shadow Copies Enable.bat

    regsvr32 /s twext.dll

    if errorlevel 1 REG ADD HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorer /V NoPreviousVersionsPage /T REG_DWORD /D 0 /f
