cannot add a value in registry entry, pls help

[QuincyXiang]

Hi,

I just want to add a value to the registry entry via regedit /s, but
always failed and no error msg shown.

my reg file - aa.reg:
=====================================
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\RMIregistry\Parameters]

"Application"="C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06\bin\rmiregistry.exe"
======================================

and I fire regedit /s aa.reg, then I checked the registry, it didn't
work, no entry was added.
For testing, I changed my reg file as below:
=====================================
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\RMIregistry\Parameters]

"Application"="C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06\bin\rmiregistry.exe"
"Description"="for the use of RMI server registry"
======================================

and run again, this time I found the value "Detecription" is added but
not the "Application", why?
Is the format wrong?
any help is appreciate.

Change it to;

"Application"="C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre1.5.0_06\\bin\\rmiregistry.exe"

I got another question: can I add a key to the registry via regedit /s?
boz now I can only add or modify value

my reg file:
=====================================
REGEDIT4

"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MyRMIreg\Parameters]"
"Application"="C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk15004\\bin\\rmiregistry.exe"

======================================

There the key Parameters doesn't exist yet, I run this script and the
registry just add a value of "Application" under the entry MyRMIreg,
but what I want is to create a key "Parameters" under the entry
MyRMIreg and then add a value of "Application", any help?
