I found the solution to writing to the registry, and thought I would
post it here for sake of the archive and anyone else who was interested.
There ia a "reg" command that can be executed at the command line (or
assumedly from a NAnt script using an exec task).
REG.exe (NT Resource Kit, W2K Support Tools, XP)
Read, Set or Delete registry keys and values
The REG command was updated in NT Resource Kit supplement 2 - the syntax
for Win 2K/XP is different.
SYNTAX:
REG QUERY RegistryPath ["String"] [/S] [/size] [/list]
REG ADD RegistryPath=Value [DataType]
REG UPDATE RegistryPath=Value
REG DELETE RegistryPath [/FORCE]
REG COPY Source [\\Machine] Dest [\\Machine]
REG SAVE RegistryPath FileName
REG RESTORE FileName KeyName
REG LOAD FileName KeyName
REG UNLOAD KeyName
REG FIND [ROOTKEY\]Key [DataType] SearchStr [ReplaceStr] [-y]
[-z[R]]
REG DUMP RegistryPath FileName
REG COMPARE [ROOTKEY\]Key [ROOTKEY\]Key [-o[M][D]] [-q] [-e]
You can apply any of the above commands to a remote
machine by adding \\MachineName to the command line.
