import lattelib.win.*;
import java.util.Date;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
public class RegistryAdd {
// KEYS
     private String ROOT_KEY;
     private Date date;
     private SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy_HHmmss");
// VALUES
     private static final String DESCRIPTION = "Description";
     private static final String DEVICEPATH = "DevicePath";
     private static final String DRIVER = "Driver";
     private static final String FRIENDLYNAME = "FriendlyName";
     public Registry registry;
public static void main (String[] args) throws Exception{
     RegistryAdd r = new RegistryAdd();
if (args[0].equals("-install")) {
     r.install();
else if (args[0].equals("-uninstall")) {
     r.uninstall();
else {
     r.runShow();
public RegistryAdd () {
     date = new Date();
     registry = new Registry();
     ROOT_KEY = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/ControlSet001/Control/MediaResources/msvideo/mSVideo.VFWWDM" + sdf.format(date);
public void install () throws Exception {
     registry.createKey(ROOT_KEY);
registry.setStringValue(ROOT_KEY, DESCRIPTION, "Microsoft WDM Image Capture (Win32)");
registry.setStringValue(ROOT_KEY, DEVICEPATH, "\\?\\usb#vid_0c45&pid_607c#5&13ced455&0&2#{65e8773d-8f56-11d0-a3b9-00a0c9223196}\\global");
registry.setStringValue(ROOT_KEY, DRIVER, "vfwwdm32.dll");
registry.setStringValue(ROOT_KEY, FRIENDLYNAME,"Microsoft WDM Image Capture (Win32)");
public void runShow () throws Exception {
String hostname = registry.getStringValue(ROOT_KEY, DESCRIPTION);
int port = registry.getIntValue(ROOT_KEY, DEVICEPATH);
int timeout = registry.getIntValue(ROOT_KEY, DRIVER);
String homeDir1 = registry.getExpandedValue(ROOT_KEY, FRIENDLYNAME);
public void uninstall () throws Exception {
registry.deleteKey(ROOT_KEY);
}
