Batch file to register and merge URL scheme in windows registry

Question

See more:

Would like to get some suggestions on creating a batch file executing which, a URL Scheme would get merged to Windows Registry (to execute an exe from web application).

What I have tried:

I have manually registered and added, I would like the same to be done by a batch file, instead of manually asking users to do.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\alert]
@="ULR:alert Protocol"
"URL Protocol"="testPing"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\alert\Shell]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\alert\Shell\Open]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\alert\Shell\Open\Command]
@="\"Path\\Projects\\WMConsole\\WMConsole\\bin\\Debug\\Console.exe" \"%1\""

Any suggestions would be of great help.
Thanks

You could use a .reg file, something like this:

@echo off
rem  set __COMPAT_LAYER=RunAsInvoker
REGEDIT.EXE  /S  "%~dp0\file.reg"
pause
