Answer 1

May you can try:

1. Remove usebackq:

   FOR /F "usebackq tokens=3,4,5"

2. Add Apostrophes in ('command loop'):

   ('REG query "hklm\software\microsoft\windows NT\CurrentVersion" /v ProductName')

   • In command line:

   FOR /F tokens^=3-5 %i IN ('REG query "hklm\software\microsoft\windows NT\CurrentVersion" /v ProductName') DO echo %i %j %k

   • In bat file:

   FOR /F tokens^=3-5 %%i IN ('REG query "hklm\software\microsoft\windows NT\CurrentVersion" /v ProductName') DO echo\ %%i %%j %%k
