Reading from Registry

Hi everyone,
I just finished working on a project that partially uses apache tomcat.
For that I need to locate the webapps directory when a client installs my software.
I use inno setup. it has a little plug-in that allows reading and writing to the registry.
The problem is this command is not working and not retrieving the directory of apache:
DefaultDirName={reg:HKLM\SOFTWARE\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat\5.5\InstallPath.reg,HKLM\SOFTWARE\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat\5.5\InstallPath.reg|{pf}\NOT HERE}It seems to always return the {pf}\NOT HERE directory as if it did not read the path from the registry.
Any suggestions

Or you might be able to use the Preferences API, although there are issues with using this. Notably SystemRoot maps to \\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JavaSoft, and I don't think it's possible to query keys above that branch of the tree without using native methods.
see this thread - http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=52&thread=231071 it explains that you can use the Preferences API and has some example code.

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?
Please Help . . .

Read reportsserver - name from registry or from system into forms 10g

Hi
I want to read the entry of reportsserver from registry or from the system into forms 10 g because the same form is testing and running on different hosts/ AS
work on XP
how to do ?
thank you
Norbert

Add a new environment variable in your default.env file (or whichever .env your config is using):
MY_REPORT_SERVER_NAME=REP_MY_IAS_SERVER
You can then use:
declare
var varchar2(2000);
begin
tool_env.Getvar('MY_REPORT_SERVER_NAME', var);
message(var);message(var);
end;
You don't need Webutil to do this.

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.

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

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 best way to find what version of PDF Reader from Adobe is installed on a windows OS?

Hi,
I am developing a .Net App in which i want to find which version of PDF Reader from Adobe is installed on an Windows OS.
It can be any of the software
Adobe Reader
Adobe Acrobat X Pro
or any other.
How to find out?

The best way would be to find and query the AcroRd32.exe executable. The file version information is stored in the executable itself.
There are lots of places in the registry that you could also potentially access relevant information.
For example the uninstall string:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
Contains a string that you could use to search for the application version.
How you would do this in .NET I'm not sure but you would use some kind of text search command to search for the relevant text and then use "if exists" condition.

Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted

hi all,
when i try to render a afx project from media encoder i get the following message
"Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted"
i've read on the forum that this is due to an old installation of Premiere.
I'm using a brand new computer. the only software installed is my cs5 master collection and the updates from adobe website.
win7 pro
i7
16 gig ram
cheers

Hello, this is terrible problem, which i found in CS 6 softwares ...
solution i found only working, is uninstall and reinstall full package.. but it is not all,
you need to do BRAND NEW admin account in windows, and install it there.
that means, i could not export after repair from encoder in my original account never more (!!)   .. this is really terrible way how to repair this issue, because :
1.by reinstalling of software, client WASTE HIS TIME
2.by necessity to begin work in another windows profile you again WASTE YOUR TIME because of learning and migrating all other profile modifications, which i see really unaccpetable. Adobe means, this solution of repair is ok, and they did not do till today any steps of creating some "clever" solution.
I ask everybody, who will meet this issue in future, guys, please, complain about this situation, give "BUG Report" to them, and write "feature request" to them , in the way of creating some repair tool, which check actual "broken" connections between encoder and premiere, which refuses to "take material" from it and encode, and REPAIR it automatically..
   I am not IT, but ..does it seems so hard to create this ? Adobe IT developers should know their systems, and should create such utility tool really easy.
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. i export anything by button "queue" from premiere to Encoder
2. Encoder will start encoding
3. Encoder does not show the window of media encoding (down left )
Results: sound of sheep occur,
in encoding error file is this reason of canceling the encoding :
01/02/2014 10:10:48 AM : Encoding Failed
Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted.
History of this problem and detailed description, HOW i did "repair" this. With wasting of app 2,5 days of my working time :
1. after repairing "error 5" problem , i solved it by reinstalling the suite from the new admin user profile (profile B) .
I continued my work on my normal working windows profile . (profile A)
Every cooperation (AE+Pr, export media via "queue" to Encoder) was working fine . . .
2. suddenly it stop working (without knowing any possible reason - i did not do installations )
and showed in error export log file :
"Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted."
3.repair via procedure(procedure "a"):
i did this procedure on the profile B (profile from last time installation of repairing problem error 5)
I did these steps :
a-uninstall master coll suite
b-i used Adobe cleaner tool (remove ALL)
c-removed raw directories in locations
•C:\Program Files\Adobe
•C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe
•C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe
•C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Adobe
•C:\ProgramData\Adobe
d-removed these links from registry file
•HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe
•HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe
•HKEY_LOCAL_MACH INE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Adobe
•HKEY_CURRENT_USER \Software\Wow6432Node\Adobe
e-restarted the PC
f- newly installed the Master Coll CS6
g-update the software
result of repair of "3" : problem still exists
4.Ok i find out after coordination with support, it should have been created ANOTHER NEW admin account.
4a:so i did the same procedure (uninstalling) in profile B
4b: and then i created brand new admin profile (profile C)for INSTALLATION of software
4c: restarted the pc (and did not updated it yet)
result :
==exporting of any sequence/raw/AE link video material from premiere via "queue" (Encoder) (profile C) : export WORKS
==exporting of any sequence/raw/AE link video material from premiere via "queue" (Encoder) (profile B) : export WORKS
==exporting of any sequence/raw/AE link video material from premiere via "queue" (Encoder) (profile A) : export DOES NOT WORK ! ! !
(in profile A, is possible to export some raw video material in encoder which is imported to it via "drag and drop)
problem i see:, i have my basic profile A, which i am interested to work, because of all my directory modifications are in there..
this issue should be some "broken" connections between encoder and premiere, which refuses to "take material" from it and encode.
what i expect :
to get from Adobe some repair tool, which automatically checks these connections and repair if necessary, without necessity of founding the new profile and reinstallation of whole software.. this is madness !
what i do NOT expect from Adobe:
to get from Adobe advice of kind : you have to reinstall full software in new admin profile. sorry , we do not know the solution, because we do not know, how do behave our software.

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.

On each connection the password field will go missing from registry config which
requires need registry the regedit manually again. We have been running this

Not sure how reliable this workaround would be however, worth giving a try
You can use Group Policy Preferences to push the registry keys

How do I stop Adobe Reader from crashing on my unprivileged user?

I am running Windows 7 and I needed to create an unprivileged user on my computer. When I open a PDF file, it almost instantly crashes (I can view the document for about three seconds). If I simply open Adobe Reader without a PDF and click Edit -> Preferences, it crashes. If I open a PDF in any browser, it crashes.
From what I have been able to surmise, it seems that Adobe Reader is trying to read the registry of my privileged user. I have tried uninstalling Adobe Reader, temporarily giving privileges to my unprivileged user, installing Adobe Reader on that user, and then remove the permissions, but the crash still occurs. The only way to stop Adobe Reader from crashing is to start the program as an administrator or change the account type to administrator. How do I stop Adobe Reader from crashing on my unprivileged user?

It said "Adobe Reader has stopped working" soon after I opened it, but I was still able to scroll down the document. It was only once I pressed Close Program that it stopped working.
Upon trying it a second time, it immediately stopped letting me scroll down when the program crashed. Here is the error log, I receive the exact same exception code every time:
