Getting a Directory Path From Registry

[sarcasteak]

I think I am going about this the wrong way

Code: Select all

set testvar=reg query HKCU\Software\Lotus\Notes\Installer\ /v PROGDIR"
cd %testvar%

it doesn't seem to this properly, am I not performing the command properly?

I think you forgot a double quote here:

Code: Select all

set "testvar=reg query HKCU\Software\Lotus\Notes\Installer\ /v PROGDIR"

And this is just not possible:

Code: Select all

cd %testvar%

I'm guessing you want this:

Code: Select all

%testvar%
