Batch - Reg query + if exists doesnt work together?

Question

I have a piece of code I want to use

reg query HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile /v EnableFirewall if %ERRORLEVEL% EQU 0 echo On

This will check if the firewall is enable if so it will echo "On". I try testing this command but my output is:

ERROR: Invalid syntax. Type "REG QUERY /?" for usage.

Does anybody knows how to let this code work?

Using for you can do something like:

@echo off
for /f "tokens=3 delims= " %%i in ('reg query HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile /v EnableFirewall') do (
    if "%%i" equ "0x1" (
        echo activated
    ) else (
        echo not activated
    )
)
