Invalid root in registry key

[yohn222]

I'm using SCCM with MDT integration, added a 'run command line' task to run this script. Initially it was failing saying 'expected Then at line [whatever]'. I threw in few Thens and it was happy, but now it fails saying.

D:_SMSTaskSequence\WDPackage\scripts\Config-DisableWindowsStoreUpdates.wsf(45, 4) WshShell.RegDelete: Invalid root in registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\NewOS\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsStore\WindowsUpdate\AutoDownload".

It fails here:

If oEnvironment.Item("_SMSTSInWinPE") = "true" Then
	oShell.RegDelete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\NewOS\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsStore\WindowsUpdate\AutoDownload"  

I cannot work this out. I get the same thing if I try and run the script on my standard Win10 box, even if I manually create the key.

Any ideas?

HI
had same issue that the script is missing some "Then"-s and now it fails in the same place because my 1809 image does not have those registry locations. even when registry file is loaded.

Everyone else that has the same problem the right script is:

actual keyworks after installing windows, we must use CMD to add those key

Reg.exe add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsStore\WindowsUpdate" /v "AutoDownload" /t REG_DWORD /d "4" /f

Reg.exe add "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CloudContent / v"DisableWindowsConsumerFeatures" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f

Software is key missed

You misunderstood, NewOS is the location where is the registry file loaded.
Actually this issue is now resolved Johan already Updated the scripts and i have been using those and these work.

@aimar115 I not misunderstood. Because I have added this registry key is by mounted image of install.wim and loaded hive file, then I modified
