Urgent Problem! Can't restore registry backup, Can't Boot Windows.
What basically happened is... I was installing Adobe After Effects on my computer and i was getting error "Installer can't initialize, restart pending on your system" or some similar stuff. I was trying to find solution on that problem, and what i found was that i have to delete some registry key named "InProgress".
So, i searched registry for that particular key... but i found like 2 of that. Deleted both but i've made Export (backup) on those keys before delete.
And yea.. i was working in After Effect for 2 days, without rebooting my machine.
But today i've rebooted it, and windows won't start.
I've tried everything... Auto-Repair can't find problem, there is no recent image saved for backup of the system (so if i restore to like 4 month old image i will lose all software installed, which is almost unacceptable), there was one other option which i am using now... reboot in dual boot with my Linux and search for solution online.
Now i am on Linux, I located the backup .reg files that i saved before i delete them. I've opened 1 of those registry files with Kwrite (notepad on windows) to see if i can locate manually reg file and put it where it belong ... but i couldn't find anything helpful inside the file.
Also i found how to restore them via recovery console on windows (cmd) using command: REGEDIT blabla.reg .
One of those keys restored successfully but the other one (the one that i've opened with Notepad) making problems. I getting message like "This file can't be merged blabla" (can't remember of exact message".
What i suspect here is... when i opened that file maybe i pressed in some line of that reg file space or accidentally put some character inside... so now its corrupted.
I have no clue what to do. Please help
I attached that file so if you can check it out and help me i would really appreciate that.
P.S. Sorry for my broken English
