I'd like to change the value "vbawarnings" but the registry path has the word version in it (15.0 or 16.0 or something). So I don't know which word version is insalled on the 5000 computer in our company. I tried this but something went wrong with %%~fA
@echo off
setlocal
set key=HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftOffice
for /f %%A in ('reg query "%key%"') do (
reg add "%key%%%~fAwordsecurity" /t REG_DWORD /v vbawarnings /d 1 /f
)
Any Ideas?
Thank you very much :)

Can you provide what the value is now in that registry? and what is the type of that registry likeREG_SZorREG_EXPAND_SZ?

Why can’t you just branch the code, if the key exists, the do whatever you need to do for that version of Office. There is at most 5 conditions you would be using. Just use static values, keep it simple, don’t make it harder then it needs to be. The alternative is to determine which versions of Office are deployed.
