Read the registry

Dear Experts,
I'm looking for a way to read the registry of my server once connected/at the connection step (trigger). This to be able to be re-directed to a given schema based on the value found in a specific key defined in the registry.
Regards,
Guillaume

Bad idea IMO - you're putting in additional software layers at connection time which is totally outside of Oracle. More moving parts means an increase likelihood of failure, more difficulties in diagnosing runtime errors and bugs and so on.
Besides, surely Oracle related data should be in Oracle and not in the ugly and atrocious piece of utter smelly poo called the Windows Registry!? The registry is the single point of failure in Windows. All eggs in a single basket. It is also the biggest security hole. Whoever decided that the Registry was a good idea during the design of Windows-NT 3 had his head stuck up some dark orafice.
Also, you cannot "redirect" a logon to a different schema. The only thing you can do is to change scope (using ALTER SYSTEM SET CURRENT_SCHEMA).
That all said, I posted sample code from Tom Kyte (written back in 8i) that calls the GetPrivateProfileString API calls from PL/SQL at:
Access COM port using oracle.
The same concept can be used to read values from the Registry.

Reading the registry from a .bat file

I've searched a bit on web before asking and I apologies a head of time but my knowledge of .bat files is a little lacking. Currently I have a working .bat file I created, but was looking to adding something extra to it and just can't seem to find exactly
what I need.. What i'm looking to do is at the top of .bat file I want it to read the registry here HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IS_DEPT\Simage\HW\Platform
Under Platform we either have 2 types LT or DT. (laptop or desktop)
What I want to do is at the top of my bat file have it search this key. If it has the value LT I want it to continue on with the script. If the value is DT I want it to not run the rest of the script and go to :end
If this is possible can someone provide me with the commands to put at the top of the script with also the IF commands to continue or go to :end

Thanks for you reply but I'm still a little lost with the reply.
What is the rest of the commands?
I understand this will query the registry, but what about searching for "LT or DT" and the IF/GOTO Commands?
reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IS_DEPT\Simage\HW\Platform
I think my confusion is how to define LT or DT as the variable. I keep finding %errorlevel% variable, but that seems to only define on (1) or off (0)
Here's what I have so far and I dont' think it's correct.
reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IS_DEPT\Simage\HW\Platform /f
if "%ERRORLEVEL%" == "LT" GOTO HOME
if "%ERRORLEVEL%" == "DT" GOTO NOOOOPE

To read the software's installed by reading the Registry

Hi ppl,
I want to write a pure JAVA program to know the softwares installed in a system. I know that i will have to read the registry and access the SOFTWARE under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE in the registry and will read the names under that node. I'm working in Windows-NT v4.0. I don't want to use JNI concepts. Can somebody help me on this?

Since "the Registry" only exists on Windows, you are not asking about the pure Java "runs everywhere" environment. That's why you have to use JNI.

Reading the Registry from Forte

All,
I recently needed to add the ability to read values
from the Windows Registry using Forte. After searching
through the mailing list archives I discovered that
several others have needed to do the same but the only
solution seemed to be to create a C wrapper for the
Windows API. Currently we do not use a C/C++ compiler
and did not want to do so just to read the registry.
The solution I discovered to this problem is simple
and can easily be added to any Forte application. I
just wanted to share my idea in the hopes that it will
help someone.
The solution is dependent on the Microsoft Windows
Script Host, which allows native execution of VBScript
and JScript on a Windows OS. The host can be
downloaded from Microsoft separately at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/scripting/. Chances are it
is already installed on your machine if you have IE5.
Check the \\windows\ directory for wscript.exe and
\\windows\command directory for cscript.exe. See the
site for further details.
The idea is to run a script (Example script below)
from Forte using the OperatingSystem.RunCommand and
redirect the output like this:
c:\windows\command\cscript.exe //nologo example.js >
example.ini
This will produce something like the following:
[FORTE]
ForteRoot=c:\forte3L2
ForteNsAddress=host.name:5000
ForteModelNode=developer-node
The redirected file can then be read and parsed.
Viola! You can access the registry. Afterwards the
file can be discarded.
In my implementation I am going to keep a file
similiar to the example file in a database so I don't
need to modify code if I change the script (although
it is hard to get away from that) and I can deploy the
script to any node I wish (a big plus). You could
potential deploy the cscript.exe file in the same way
if you are worried about it not being installed on the
target machine.
For my purposes I did not spend the time to create
classes designed to handle this process (i.e. retrieve
script, write script to file system, execute script,
read and parse results, etc.) but it certainly is not
out of the realm of possibility.
Well that's about it. Write me if you have any
questions.

Reading the registry

I am working on Forms 6i on windows2000 platform (I converted my forms from DEV2.1).
To read any entry from the registry, i use in DEV2.1 to use the WIN_API_ENVIRONMENT package.
But now it is giving me an internal error.
Even though I have copied the D2KWUTIL.pll from the Forms6i demos and compiled it, but the forms didn't work.
Any help?
and Thanks in advance

I'm working with this PLL in the same configuration as you and got no errors. Maybe you should copy the "D2KWUT60.DLL" into your working forms directory as well.

How to read the default value for a Registry Key

I am trying to use webutil 1.0.2 Client_win_api_environment.read_registry to read the client registry key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.xls, but the function is raising no_data_found. I can read the registry key in Regedit. I am logged on as myself as a non-admin NT user.
P.S: The Client_win_api_environment.read_registry can actually read HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\FORMS90_PATH because FORMS90_PATH is a registry ENTRY, whereas .xls in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.xls is a KEY, but I still need the DEFAULT value of the key and it does NOT seem to work with client_win_api_environment.read_registry

Hi Manohar,
You have to give Distribution Key "1" in the Plannner Profile as well as if you take a column for Distribution Key seperately in your Planning Layout for Cost Element Planning, in the Excel file, you can give Distribution Key as "1" in the respective column. When you upload the data through Excel, the system will take the DKey as "1" only.
I hope it will solve your problem. Pls revert back for further assistance..

Java API to read the Encrypted Values from Windows Registry settings

Is there any Java API to read the Encrypted Values from Windows Registry settings ?
My Java Application invokes a 3rd party Tool that writes the key/value to windows registry settings under : “HKLM\Software\<3rdparty>\dataValue”.
This entry is in BINARY and encrypted with 3DES, using crypto API from Microsoft.
3rd party software to encrypt the data stored in registry it
either uses C++ code: and uses the call “CryptProtectData” and “CryptUnProtectData” or
If it is a .NET (C#) it uses the call “Protect” or “UnProtect” from class “ProtectData” of WinCrypt.h from the library “Crypt32.lib.
Note: The data is encrypted using auto-generated machinekey and there is no public key shared to decrypt the Encrypted data.
Since the data is encrypted using auto-generated machinekey the same can be decrypted from a .Net / C++ application using CryptUnprotectData or UnProtect() API of WinCrypt.h from the library “Crypt32.lib.
To know more about Auto-Generated MachineKey in Windows refer the links below
http://aspnetresources.com/tools/machineKey
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms998288.aspx
I need to find a way in Java to find the equivalent API to decrypt (CryptUnprotectData) and Microsoft will automatically use the correct key.
But i couldn't find any informato related to Java APIs to enrypt or decrypt data using auto-generated machinekey.
Is there a way to read the encrypted data from Windows regsitry settings that is encrypted using the Auto-Generated Machine Key ?
Kindly let me know if Java provides any such API or mechanism for this.

If the symmetric key is "auto-generated" and is not being stored anywhere on the machine, it implies that the key is being regenerated based on known values on the machine. This is the same principle in generating 3DES keys using PBE (password-based-encryption). I would review the documentation on the C# side, figure out the algorithm or "seed" values being used by the algorithm, and then attempt to use the JCE to derive the 3DES key using PBE; you will need to provide the known values as parameters to the PBE key-generation function in JCE. Once derived, it can be used to decrypt the ciphertext from the Regiistry in exactly the same way as the CAPI/CNG framework.
An alternate way for Java to use this key, is to write a JNI library that will call the native Windows code to do the decryption; then the Java program does not need to know details about the key.
That said, there is a risk that if your code can derive the key based on known seeds, then so can an attacker. I don't know what your applicatiion is doing, but if this is anything related to compliance for some data-security regulation like PCI-DSS, then you will fail the audit (for being unable to prove you have adequate controls on the symmetric key) if a knowledgable QSA probes this design.

Hi All,
powershell script Method required to read a value from registry and then taking the backup of that values in some text file.
For example the hive is
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment\Path
and under path i need to take back up of values in some text file and then put some value in the registry after back is taken in text file.
Also how to read the text file values so that we can again write to registry hive back from the back up text file.
Your help is much appreciated.

Reading the printer name from the registry

Hi,
I am trying to use the following program to get the Printer name from my Registry.. this program has been taken from Forums.
package yourpackage;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.print.PageFormat;
import java.awt.print.Printable;
import java.awt.print.PrinterException;
import java.awt.print.PrinterJob;
import oracle.forms.ui.VBean;
import oracle.forms.properties.ID;
public class printDialog extends VBean
private static final ID PRINTER = ID.registerProperty("PRINTER");
public printDialog()
class PrintObject implements Printable
public int print (Graphics g, PageFormat f, int pageIndex)
return NO_SUCH_PAGE;
public Object getProperty(ID id)
if (id == PRINTER) {
PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
job.setPrintable(new PrintObject());
if (job.printDialog())
return job.getPrintService().getName();
} else {
return null;
} else {
return null;}
This program when compiled gives me the error as
Error(32,12): method getPrintService() not found in class java.awt.print.PrinterJob
I did set the project settings from Project-Project Settings and included Oracle Forms Libraries. But I still continue to get the error.
I understood from the web that I need to put PrintService class which downloaded from the web as part of jnlp.jar
How should I set this if this is the correct one?
Early response would be highly appreciated
Thanks a lot for your time and help
Narain.

Narain,
I could swear I answered this on teh Jdeveloper forum ;-)
The prin service is part pf Java 1.4, which means that it is not available in JInitiator today. Use the Java Plugin 1.4 and the required classes are present. JNLP stands for Java Network Launching Protocoll and has nothing to do with what you want to achieve.
In addition, to read the printer names from Forms your jar file has to be signed.

Unable to read from the registry

I have a button on one of my forms that needs to read from the registry (get default web browser location).
When I am logged in as a member of the administrators group I can perform the operation. When I am logged in as a member of the Power Users group I cannot read the value.
Is this a known issue in Windows 2000 Professional? Is there a techincal paper or resource that shows this?
Or am I doing something incorrectly?

Define adobe reader 11 protected view privileged locations via the registry

Is it possible to define adobe reader 11 protected view privileged locations via the registry?
I need to add the folder path our docuemnt managment system uses for its temp directory.
Thanks

I modified the transform file I use to deploy reader via group policy with the adobe customization wizard and specified the desired privileged locations.
I then did a test deploy of reader to a workstation and adobe reader 11.0.02 was installed. None of the privileged locations I defined in the transform are showing up as being defined in the GUI and they are not in the registry @ HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\11.0\TrustManager\cTrustedFolders I used filemon to figure out where reader was writing to in the registry.
I don’t know if there are issues with certain parts of the transform being ignored when installing the software. I have noticed that if I install adobe reader via the command line and apply the transform, the installer completely ignores the transform but gives no errors.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Reading the Installation directory from Registry

Dear All,
Wondering if it is possible somehow to read a path from system register and use that path as an installation (destination) directory for the application ? This should happen programmatically every time when the user starts the installation of the application with the Setup.exe.
Tried to figure out how to set up such dynamic path in the "Destinations"-view of the Installer, but couldn't. Perhaps I should write with LabVIEW my own "Setup-launcher", that reads the path from register and uses that value as an argument with the actual Setup.exe. Has anyone out there succeeded in doing something like this ?
Cheers,
Cerati

Metro Apps All Crash On Startup - I have read the other threads on this

UPDATE: I AM UPDATING THIS FIRST POST AS PEOPLE KEEP INCORRECTLY MARKING OUR ISSUE AS ANSWERED WHEN THEY HAVE NOT READ THE THREAD PROPERLY. AS SUCH I WILL START BY SAYING IF YOU ARE COMING HERE AND USING AVAST THEN YOUR SOLUTION WILL BE TO TURN OF THE BEHAVIOR SHIELD
FUNCTION. MORE INFO IS CONTAINED ELSEWHERE ONLINE ON THIS MATTER. THIS THREAD IS ABOUT DOMAIN USE OF METRO ON CLEAN INSTALLS WITH NO 3RD PARTY SOFTWARE. SORRY FOR THE CAPITALS BUT 5 TIMES HAVE PEOPLE MARKED AVAST AS THE ANSWER TO OUR PROBLEM WHEN IT IS NOT
EVEN INSTALLED AS DESCRIBED IN THE THREAD. I HAVE POSTED AN EXACT STEP BY STEP TO REPRODUCE MY PROBLEM LOWER DOWN
I know this question has been asked several times but there seems to be no-one that has a fix for it and it's becoming very frustrating.
I have installed windows 8 on my work computer as part of a test group to evaluate how the OS runs in our corporate space. The answer currently is not very well. The desktop side runs lovely but the whole metro experience is currently broken. This is the
same across all the people in our test group, not just my machine.
Scenario:
All users running windows 8 within our domain are unable to launch any metro (sorry - new style) application with the exception of PC settings.
I will describe how I set my machine up and the errors I receive.
The install is Windows 8 Pro that was a totally clean install. Installation went fine and very fast which was great. When required during setup I created a local Microsoft account - we wanted to see the experience for the majority of users who
do not have a live id. This all worked fine and everything worked as expected - including the metro apps.
Now that everything was up and working we joined the machine to the domain, this went fine and I was asked what local security level I would like the account to have - I selected administrator as I need to install all my software / dev tools etc.
After reboot I log into my domain account and start to install all my applications. I didn't retest metro apps at this point as it never crossed my mind that I would need to.
All normal desktop apps / programs installed I try to show a colleague the news metro app. The splash screen flashes up and bang straight back to the start screen. I proceeded to try every single other metro app and all have the same result, including
the store. Strangely they are all displaying notifications and updating the tiles.
So now I start to search the issue online looking at my event logs for clues to track it down. The following is what i find in the event viewer, I will use the store as an example:
Under "Windows Logs" --> "Application" : I get two separate error events the first reads "Activation of app winstore_cw5n1h2txyewy!Windows.Store failed with error: The app didn't start. See the Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational log for additional
information." The second arrives in the log about 15 seconds after the first and reads "App winstore_cw5n1h2txyewy!Windows.Store did not launch within its allotted time."
Under "Windows Logs" --> "System" : I get one error that reads "The server Windows.Store did not register with DCOM within the required timeout."
Under "Applications And Services Logs" --> "Microsoft" --> "Windows" --> "Apps" --> "Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational" : I get one error that reads "Activation of the app winstore_cw5n1h2txyewy!Windows.Store for
the Windows.Launch contract failed with error: The app didn't start."
I have tried the following to resolve this with no success:
Updated the registry as per a moderator suggestion on technet
Linked my domain account to my live id account
Tried changing permissions on C drive to allow all application packages full control
Install all latest updates
Tried to run from the local none domain account - same issue now occurs there
I am not willing to do a repair or re install after spending the best part of a day installing my programs and arranging my start menu too my desired layout. Also each user in our test group has the same issue with totally different software installed. The
only common item between the 5 systems is .net 3.5 has been installed in order to run a piece of custom software (a simple exe).
I need to try to find another spare machine to test if simply joining the domain is the root cause. If so this will surely be a big issue when it is actually release later this month as we do nothing special here in terms of our domain config. If it is something
to do with the domain Microsoft should be much more specific about what can and cant be done on the group policies if you want metro to run. There is no way we could roll this out to our users if as soon as they join our domain their entire start
screen stops working.
HELP!!!

Kevinio04,
We have been experiencing the same error in our environment; however today I have found a solution for this. I have included my theory too, as to why this was happening. Let me know if this solution works for you:
If you have recently installed Windows 8 Enterprise on a machine, put the machine on a domain and then used Active Directory credentials to log in, then you may have
experienced all Metro Apps to crash.
Theory for Metro apps crashing: Once the machine was put on the domain and an Active Directory user would log into the Windows 8 machine group policy kicked in (depending on what OU that machine was in). Group policy writes to the Windows registry;
therefore if you put that same machine in a different OU after previously being in a different OU, there are still traces of the previous group policy in the Windows registry. In summary, a new OU needs to be created in group policy specifically for
Windows 8 machines. The machines that are going to have Windows 8 installed on them, must start with a clean Windows 8 install. You can find details in the outline below:
GROUP POLICY CHANGES
Create a new Windows 8 OU with no policies enforced
Once that OU is created, create the following Policy:
Location of Policy: Computer Configuration / Policies / Windows Settings / Security Settings / Local Policies/Security Options / Audit: Audit the access of global system objects
This policy needs to be set to: Not Configured
Audit: Audit the access of global system objects
Default: Disabled
Description of this Policy
*This security setting determines whether to audit the access of global system objects. If this policy is enabled, it causes system objects, such as mutexes, events, semaphores and DOS devices, to be created with a default system access control list (SACL).
Only named objects are given a SACL; SACLs are not given to objects without names. If the Audit object access audit policy is also enabled, access to these system objects is audited.*
INSTALL WINDOWS 8 ENTERPRISE
Administer a clean install of Windows 8 on a machine
Create a local administrator account
Log in with the location admin account to put the machine on the domain
Do NOT log onto the machine with Active Directory credentials yet!
Put the machine in the new Windows 8 OU
Restart the machine
Now, log onto the machine with Active Directory credentials
TADA!
