Additional Information
Windows registry export files can contain the backslash escape
character to mask special characters e.g.:
\"C:\\Program Files\\7-Zip\\7zFM.exe\" \"%1\"
When importing such a registry export file into a bundle regedit action, such backslashes are not removed by the ZENworks Control Center during import and also the respective adaptive agent action handler does not remove them which results in corrupt registry values.
