Script needed to change the SourcePath value in my Windows Server 2003 Registry

Gurus,

I am trying to change just the SourcePath value in my Windows Server 2003
Registry via script. I want to change it from it's current value to
"D:\ENGLISH\WIN2003\32BIT\ENT_WITH_SP1\I386". What kind of simple script
would enable me to change just that one value? The path to that is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion.

You could do it with a one-line command, based on regedit.exe:

Here's an example. Set the actual paths as required but note that they're
one level above the \i386 directory.


Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
'Setup files
WshShell.RegWrite "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\SourcePath", "D:\ENGLISH\WIN2003\32BIT\ENT_WITH_SP1\"
WshShell.RegWrite
"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Se tup\SourcePath",
"D:\ENGLISH\WIN2003\32BIT\ENT_WITH_SP1\"

'Service pack source files
WshShell.RegWrite
"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Se tup\ServicePackSourcePath",
"D:\ENGLISH\WIN2003\32BIT\ENT_WITH_SP1\"
