Hi All,

How do I delete the registry key within vbscript?

My Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ABBYY\FREngine\5.0\License

Name: Agreement
Type: REG_SZ
Data: IGMGBOGEBB....

What is ther function for this?

Try something like this:

Set Sh=WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
myKey="HKCU\Software\ABBYY\FREngine\5.0\License\"
WScript.Echo Sh.RegRead(myKey & "Agreement")
' to delete the name
Sh.RegDelete myKey & "Agreement"
' to delete the whole key
Sh.RegDelete myKey

Hope This Help

If I didn't want to delete the Agreement, but did want to delete the Data Value of the Agreement. How would this be done?

RegWrite instead of regdelete or regread, just write a "" to the value if you want to clear it

Try something like this:

Set Sh=WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
myKey="HKCU\Software\ABBYY\FREngine\5.0\License\"
Sh.RegWrite myKey & "Agreement","","REG_SZ"
