[AznChillin]

I want to silence reg query that is within a for. if the registry doesn't exist i don't want the error to show.
Here is the line i have

Code: Select all

FOR /F "skip=2 tokens=2,*" %%A IN ('reg.exe query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Windows" /v "ExePath"') DO set "PATHEXE=%%B"

Here's something that should work:

Code: Select all

FOR /F "skip=2 tokens=2,*" %%A IN ('reg.exe query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Windows" /v "ExePath" 2^>nul ') DO set "PATHEXE=%%B"

Nevermind, it works, it didn't replace the file in my virtual machine. Thank you so much for your help.
