Registry plugin

[Instructor]

"PendingFileRenameOperations" value has two NULL characters normally this means that value ended (one NULL character - end of line)

code:


"PendingFileRenameOperations"=hex(7):5c,3f,3f,5c,43,3a,5c,57,49,4e,4e,54,5c,73,\

  79,73,74,65,6d,33,32,5c,73,70,6f,6f,6c,5c,44,52,49,56,45,52,53,5c,43,4f,4c,\

  4f,52,5c,4e,65,77,00,00,5c,3f,3f,5c,43,3a,5c,44,4f,43,55,4d,45,7e,31,5c,73,\

  61,61,5c,4c,4f,43,41,4c,53,7e,31,5c,54,65,6d,70,5c,6e,73,61,31,42,38,42,2e,\

  74,6d,70,5c,52,65,67,69,73,74,72,79,2e,64,6c,6c,00,00,5c,3f,3f,5c,43,3a,5c ...

I'll see what I can do.

Fixed: registry::Read interpret empty line of REG_MULTI_SZ value as end of value.
Updated: "ConvFunc.h" to v1.6


"Registry" plugin v2.1

[Brummelchen]

Thank you much top da man ^^

erks, sorry - nearly.

when i empty that key manually this remains

"PendingFileRenameOperations"=hex(7):00

registry::read shows me a blank value.

maybe you can fix this too ?


some nasty code to avoid it:

PHP Code:

  ;pending operations ?
  ClearErrors
    ${registry::Read} "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager" "PendingFileRenameOperations" $R9 $R8
  StrCmp $R9 "" no_pending
    StrLen $R8 $R9
    StrCmp $R8 1 no_pending
    ${registry::Unload}
    ;your action here
      Quit
  no_pending:
    ${registry::Unload} 


[Instructor]

Please download v2.1 again, I forgot one thing in fix.

[Brummelchen]

somethings really going bad now - the installer quits on starting the plugin and remains the temp folder

[Instructor]

I'm looking at it now.

[Instructor]

Fixed: registry::Read REG_MULTI_SZ value problems ( take two ).


"Registry" plugin v2.2

[Brummelchen]

crash - fixed

zero value - not fixed
"PendingFileRenameOperations"=hex(7):00
(i get my message)

but no worry so far i use my nasty code above as long it cannot be fixed

[Instructor]

zero value - not fixed
"PendingFileRenameOperations"=hex(7):00
(i get my message)

REG_MULTI_SZ value requeres two NULL characters at the end (howbeit plugin read any REG_MULTI_SZ value).

code:
"PendingFileRenameOperations"=hex(7):00,00

[Brummelchen]

well - here it has only one zero
can you code it that if reg_multi_sz starts with zero it returns empty ?

[Instructor]

Done. Reuploaded.

[Brummelchen]

perfect

[Instructor]

-deleted-

P.S. I will try later

[WebMatze]

Zip is damaged...

[Brummelchen]

No, try again

[Instructor]

Fixed: registry::WriteExtra append REG_MULTI_SZ value only after new line.


"Registry" plugin v2.3

[Instructor]

Fixed: improved PPC-registry plugin code, many bugs fixed (thanks Peter Beedell)


"Registry" plugin v2.4

[rmccue]

Is it possible to allow the appending of registry keys to an already created file and exporting more than one key at a time?

[Instructor]

Is it possible to allow the appending of registry keys to an already created file and exporting more than one key at a time?

Probably I can add this possibility.

[rxs2k5]

Instructor excellent plugin, thanks for your contributions.

This could at least worked out a bit to find the correct keys to change a setoutpath

btw

Section /o "Search and write founded in text file" SearchAndWriteInFile
GetTempFileName $R0
FileOpen $R1 $R0 w
FileWrite $R1 'HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG$\r$\n$\r$\n'

${registry::Open} "HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG" "/B=1" $0
StrCmp $0 -1 0 loop
MessageBox MB_OK "Error" IDOK close

loop:
${registry::Find} $1 $2 $3 $4

StrCmp $4 '' close
StrCmp $4 'REG_KEY' 0 +3
FileWrite $R1 '$4:"$1\$2"$\r$\n'
goto +2
FileWrite $R1 '$4:"$1" "$2"="$3"$\r$\n'
goto loop

close:
${registry::Close}
${registry::Unload}
FileClose $R1

Exec '"notepad.exe" "$R0"'
SectionEnd

In the example u provided, about the search and write found, how can I able to make it search and write the searched registry into a filename.ini

[Instructor]

Like this?

code:
Section /o "Search and write founded in text file" SearchAndWriteInFile

	StrCpy $R0 HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG



	${registry::Open} "$R0" "/K=0 /B=1" $0

	StrCmp $0 -1 0 loop

	MessageBox MB_OK "Error" IDOK close



	loop:

	${registry::Find} $1 $2 $3 $4



	StrCmp $4 '' close

	WriteINIStr 'C:\filename.ini' '$R0\$1\$2' '$2' '$3'

	goto loop



	close:

	${registry::Close}

	${registry::Unload}

	FileClose $R1



	Exec '"notepad.exe" "C:\filename.ini"'

SectionEnd

[rxs2k5]

nice nice thanks
but how do I extent the search beside this
HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG

like

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE " name of software " "the value" "data"
HKEY CURRENT USERS " Name of software " " the value" "data"

Section /o "Search and write founded in text file" SearchAndWriteInFile
StrCpy $R0 HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG

${registry::Open} "$R0" "/K=0 /B=1" $0
StrCmp $0 -1 0 loop
MessageBox MB_OK "Error" IDOK close

loop:
${registry::Find} $1 $2 $3 $4

StrCmp $4 '' close
WriteINIStr 'C:\filename.ini' '$R0\$1\$2' '$2' '$3'
goto loop

close:
${registry::Close}
${registry::Unload}
FileClose $R1

Exec '"notepad.exe" "C:\filename.ini"'
SectionEnd

[Instructor]

HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE " name of software " "the value" "data"
HKEY CURRENT USERS " Name of software " " the value" "data"

Don't understand. What your situation (what you trying to do)?

[rxs2k5]

Section /o "Search and write founded in text file" SearchAndWriteInFile
StrCpy $R0 HKEY_CURRENT_User
StrCpy $R1 HKEY_Local_ Machine

${registry::Open} "$R0" "/K=0 /B=1" $0
StrCmp $0 -1 0 loop
MessageBox MB_OK "Error" IDOK close

loop:
${registry::Find} $1 $2 $3 $4

StrCmp $4 '' close
WriteINIStr 'C:\filename.ini' '$R0\$1\$2' '$2' '$3'
goto loop

close:
${registry::Close}
${registry::Unload}
FileClose $R1

Exec '"notepad.exe" "C:\filename.ini"'
SectionEnd

1.
If u look at the example above the HKEY_CURRENT_User which will be written into the filename.ini takes a long time to search since it will scan the entire registry on HKEY_CURRENT_User is there anyway to define it to search the material much faster and direct.

2. HKEY_CURRENT_User "Software\blah" "search string value" " string value data " is this possible to direct a search rather than a full scan of the HKEY_CURRENT_User.

3. this will be read by ReadINIStr afterwards when the search is being done since ReadINIStr requires section_name entry_name. Is there a possibility that your registry plugin can arrange this to fit into the search in ReadINIStr like this
ReadINIStr $0 $Temp\filename.ini example1 cool on the later part.


thanks again for replying

[Instructor]

is this possible to direct a search rather than a full scan of the HKEY_CURRENT_User

Direct search for what? For key "blah"?

[rxs2k5]

yes

[Instructor]

I'll answer little later

[rxs2k5]

ok I will be waiting when ur ready

[Instructor]

ok. I need to understand what you trying to do.
1. You know that registry key name is "blah"
2. You know that this key located somewhere in the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software" (it can be "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\123\blah" or "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\blah" ...)
3. You need to find all this variants and write them to the ini file
Is this correct?

[rxs2k5]

yes !

[Instructor]

code:
Section /o "Search and write founded in text file" SearchAndWriteInFile

	StrCpy $R0 "HKEY_CURRENT_USER"  #Root

	StrCpy $R1 "Software"           #Subkey "Key1\Ke2\Key3"

	StrCpy $R2 0



	${registry::Open} "$R0\$R1" "/K=1 V=0 /S=0 /N='blah' /B=1" $0

	StrCmp $0 -1 0 loop

	MessageBox MB_OK "Error" IDOK close



	loop:

	${registry::Find} $1 $2 $3 $4



	StrCmp $4 '' close

	WriteINIStr 'C:\filename.ini' 'Example1' '$R2' '$R0\$1\$2'

	IntOp $R2 $R2 + 1

	goto loop



	close:

	${registry::Close}

	${registry::Unload}



	Exec '"notepad.exe" "C:\filename.ini"'

SectionEnd

[Instructor]

Added:    registry::SaveKey option /A=[0|1], /A=1 append data to the file
Changed: registry::RestoreKey some clean-up


"Registry" plugin v2.5

[Instructor]

Fast fix: registry::Open does not reset variables (more then one call)


"Registry" plugin v2.6

[Deuce199]

I am using a search function in my registry program using your plugin. I am now using your append switch of savekey to append the found keys to a reg file and it works like a charm. This is my problem:

Say I search for Key1 in HKEY_Local_MAchine, so it find key1 and writes it to the reg file, i then have it loop back and search again. The problem is it will refind the first instance of key1 and keep going, never getting past that key, because it does not remember it did that. How or can you add function that will cause the search to continue from the point it stopped to write the information to a file. So it would continue from the first instance of key1 and go to the next instance? Is that possible?

Thanks,
Deuce199

[Instructor]

registry::Find and registry::SaveKey uses the same stack I'll try to separate them.

[Instructor]

With v2.7:

code:
Name "Output"

OutFile "Output.exe"



!include "Registry.nsh"



Section

	StrCpy $R0 "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE"   #Root

	StrCpy $R1 "SOFTWARE\Microsoft"   #Subkey



	${registry::Open} "$R0\$R1" "/K=1 V=0 /S=0 /N='Key1' /B=1" $0

	StrCmp $0 -1 0 loop

	MessageBox MB_OK "Error" IDOK close



	loop:

	${registry::Find} $1 $2 $3 $4



	StrCmp $4 '' close

	${registry::SaveKey} "$R0\$1\$2" "C:\keys.reg" "/A=1 /B=1" $0

	goto loop



	close:

	${registry::Close}

	${registry::Unload}



	Exec '"notepad.exe" C:\keys.reg'

SectionEnd

[Instructor]

Fixed: separate registry::Find and registry::SaveKey stacks. Now possible use them
          together.
