After the deployment itself, I want to add certain registry keys to the computers that have had this update installed. The key below is an example (line may be wrapped): "%programfiles%\tools\reg" add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\7.0\FeatureLockdown" /v bEFIPrintMe /d 0x00000000 /t REG_DWORD /f Problem is that I get an error "To many command-line parameters.". How can it be too long?? The "Tools"-folder on the local computer contains the reg.exe, but I get the same error. I also ried running the reg.exe command from the dfs-share and get the same error there. Am I hitting a hard-coded limit on the path-lenght or something here? If so, could you suggest any other way to do this? TIA.
