regtool 1.8 on cygwin 1.5.10: Recursively remove registry keys

2004-07-09 Thread Systemtechnik
Hello,
it seems that regtool cannot remove keys in registry if it's not 
empty.
I have to remove all subkeys/values first, otherwise i get an Error 
(5) access denied.
Is this true, or is there a way to remove whole trees from the 
registry ?

AFAICS, regtool has no recursive option.  Patches welcome.  See

Maybe i write some kind to dir-crawler in perl/shell to do this...
Thanks for you info !
