There are two kinds of .REG file: ANSI and Unicode. The Regedit tool on WinXP exports keys to .REG files as Unicode, naturally. Furthermore it is a known thing that the REGEDIT tool included in Win95/98 is *not capable* of *importing* a key that contains a REG_EXPAND_SZ datum. It is either a bug or a missing feature, depending on who you read. I downloaded a trial version of Resplendent Registrar (http://www.resplendence.com) which seems like a kick-a** tool, and made the needed additions to the Registry using that tool instead of via a .REG file. For the purposes of Win9x, all that Perl hacking was for nought.
