Windows XP and Server 2003 have a great command line registry editor called
reg.exe. It doesn't run on Windows 2000 (gives a dll error). Does anyone
know if there is an installation package to install this tool on Windows 2K
(prof or server)?

There is a reg.exe, which is part of the Win2K Resource Kit and may be
included with WinXP.
 
No no he is right. reg.exe is not regedit.exe. I don't think that can be installed in Windows 2000. It is strictly Windows XP and now Windows 2003.

It also looks quite cool. Thanks for that Steve!

REG.EXE is in the NT4.0 Resource Kit and Win2000 Resource Kit; the
Win2000 version also works with NT4.0.

Hi

Yes, it is in the Windows 2000 Support Tools.

Reg.exe is in the Win2k Support Tools found on the Win2k CD,
\Support\Tools\Suptools.msi, or for the latest version of
Support Tools (should work on non-SP4 computers as well):

Hi

As far as I see, it is not part of the Win2000 Resource Kit (not the Pro version at least), but it is in the free Support tools kit.

Hi, Torgeir,

Yes, you are right: it's in the Win2000 Support Tools, not the Win2000 Resource Kit.
 
Hi Steve,

The reg.exe includes in the Windows 2000 Support Tools.

The Windows 2000 Support Tools includes in the support\tools folder of the
Windows 2000 installation CD.
