Urgent Problem! Can't restore registry backup, Can't Boot Windows.

[CPEKEH]

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

Hi Cpekeh, welcome to the Seven Forums.

Let me just check I understood you correctly:
When installing software, Windows very clearly told you the installer cannot continue because of a pending restart, which by the way is quite normal for instance when you have updated or installed something that needs a restart but you choose to restart later.

Any sane user would of course have decided to follow clear instructions and reboot, but you chose to "play with registry" on a system where there are no fresh backups. This, of course, caused Windows to lose its functionality when finally rebooted.

Was that correct?

OK, now to solutions and recommendations: You need to do a clean, fresh install or restore the last possible image. Your installation is now so corrupted any other method to get it work at least temporarily is too little too late.

Thank you for replying...
I forgot to mention...
After getting that message from Adobe Installer.. i restarted 3-4 times... i even closed any other processes that can make conflicts after third restart.. no result. I forgot to mention this because i didn't wanted to be as detailed as possible... because if i mention everything i did to make it work... this post will be like 2 hours for reading

I just need to find a way to put this key into registry again and everything will be okay. I am trying to find solution to that only. Can you help me how to manually add and create registry that are in that reg file?
I am currently on Linux and i have full availability on the Win Directory. I know that restoring or fresh install is easiest option... but if i wanted to do that at first place i won't look for solution for 3 hours and write on this forum.
The loss is too big to do restoration to image that is 4 month old.

My question is... is it any man on this forum capable of giving me knowledge or i let him put the keys himself manually into registry folder or what should i do to fix that corrupted .reg file?

Thank you very much for your kind response
