regedit32 won't run

T

Tim Fickes

Have a workstation running Win2k w/ SP4.

When I go to Start, Run, regedit32 I get an error message that says:
"Cannot find the file 'regedit32' (or one of its components). Make sure the
path and file name are correct and that all the required libraries are
available."

Any help would be appreciated.

You probably do not have the %systemroot%\system32 directory in your path.
Try the following.

Run cmd.exe
At the command prompt, type 'cd %systemroot%\system32'
Now type 'dir regedt32.exe'. Do you see the file listed ? If so type
regedt32.exe.

File not found....

This system is running on a Small Business Server 2000 LAN... When open cmd
from Run, it is at U:\>...

I can navigate to c:\winnt\system32\regedit32.exe and double click and it
launches...

So not quite sure what I have going on.

As I mentioned, you probably are missing the entry c:\winnt\system32\ in
your path. You have 2 options.

1. Add the c:\winnt\system32\ to the PATH environment variable.
2. Run regedt32.exe by specifying the full name. i.e;
%systemroot%\system32\regedt32.exe

Greetings --

That would be because there should be no such file on a Win2K
machine. There is, however, both "Regedit.exe" and "Regedt32.exe."
