 i confirm. but i think there is a mistake here. regedit and regedt32
are tools to *interactively* edit the Windows registry. you're
speaking about *scripting*, so neither of those tools are what you
want.

 you'll need some registry command line utility to do so. there
are plenty of those; some links which could help:
