It doesn't work

[tyrion9]

I run Windows 10 build April 2018,

I do exactly the same the instruction, but it doesn't work.

@tyrion9 Which themes did you talk about and what is your putty version?
I have tried most of them. It works quite fine.
I use PuTTY Release 0.70.

I had issues with the instructions with regard to the .js file. My machine didn't know what to run this script with so instead I ran it in command prompt like this:

Cscript.exe "C:\Users\Admin\Downloads\putty-color-themes-master\_puttycolor.js" "C:\Users\Admin\Downloads\putty-color-t
hemes-master\44. Thayer.reg"

There might be an easier way than what I did but it worked for me.

Yes, _puttycolor.js is written on the JScript language embedded in Windows, it's not the JavaScript.
By default js-files are associated with JScript in Windows but if you have ever installed any good text-editor you probably have js-files associated with JavaScript so _puttycolor.js does not work.
I will add to instruction an alternative way of run.

Hi there,
I followed the instructions but it didn't work. I didn't drag'n drop the .reg file into the .js file (since Windows doesn't let do it) but I executed cscript.exe command as you may see below:

(It says: Runtime Exception error. File not found)

[SOLVED]

I commented this line:
//var FilePath = args.item(0);
and it was replaced by this one:
var FilePath = 'C:\\Users\\...\\Downloads\\putty-color-themes-master\\putty-color-themes-master\\13. Grass.reg';

IT WORKS!

THANKS FOR YOUR EFFORT AND TIME! ;)

To make it easier on yourself just open up a command prompt and navigate to the folder containing the .js and .reg file, then run the command with local paths:
cscript _puttycolor.js "36. Seafoam Pastel.reg"

This method is the easiest. Still works as of 2023.
