Hi L*

Thanks for your reply. I based this /y option on info found on this webpage: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc742017.aspx

Unfortunately removing /y option gave the same result.

The reg command seems interesting. Unfortunately, it seems you can only export one key at the time, the sum of all 5 keys was 80Mb more that a regular registry dump

further on it seems that regedit /e only dumps two keys: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_USERS, not the other base keys. This is as CLI and in Perl. Will try to run a diff to see what is missing in Perl -> system......

Is it possible to see what call Perl sends to Windows to figure out why there are two different results....
