Reading Registry Io interference

Hi
I got a problem which is not making sense.
I got a program which takes a bin file which is a program and downloads it via the parallel port to a device to simulator the program.
The problem is that my program doesnt download vai the parallel port correctly if i acces the registry.
Why could this be ?
if i comment those registry functions it downloads correctly.
I get the correct information from the registry functions and no errors.
Here is an example for my registry functions:
HKEY hKey;
LONG openres;
DWORD res;
DWORD type =REG_SZ;
DWORD cbData =1024;
openres=RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_CURRENT_USER,"SOFTWARE\\Winzapper\\General",0,KEY_QUERY_VALUE,&hKey);
if(openres!=ERROR_SUCCESS)
MessagePopup("","Error Opening Registry Key");
else
res=RegQueryValueEx(hKey,"EpromTypeIndex", NULL, &type, buffer, &cbData);
if(res!=ERROR_SUCCESS)
MessagePopup("","Error reading value");
else
Config.iEpromType=atoi(buffer);
SetCtrlIndex (MainPnl, MAINPANEL_EPROM_TYPE, Config.iEpromType);
res=RegCloseKey(hKey);
if(res!=ERROR_SUCCESS)
MessagePopup("","Error closing registry key");

I found my the problem.
I was sending some incorrect information and by commenting out the registry functions set the program to my default values which were correct.
The actual registry functions were not a problem.

Can't read registry entry AppPath... - My solution

Good news! For me, there was a simple solution when I got this error message. (Some background: We just upgraded Office to 2007 and RoboHelp 8 from RoboHelp 5.) Today when I tried to open RoboHelp for Word (version 8) for the first time, I received this error message:
"Can't read registry entry AppPath. RoboHelp may not be installed properly.
Re-install RoboHelp if you continu to get this message."
Actually, I didn't need to do anything major to successfully open RoboHelp for Word. The solution seemed to be simply to open RoboHelp for Word BEFORE opening Word. (Apparently, in my original attempt, I already had Word open.) So I rebooted my PC, and opened RoboHelp-for-Word first, and (Yeah!), RoboHelp for Word opened just fine.
Perhaps this will help someone else.

This forum is maintained by users of RoboHelp, not by Adobe, so your comments will not be seen by them.
You say you are dissappointed with the Adobe RoboHelp team but you don't say if you have been to Support and what they suggested.
I'm not sure what the problem is but I do know you cannot have more than one version of RoboHelp for Word installed on one PC. Maybe that is the cause.

Read Registry Keys and store it in Inventory DB

Hallo together,
I am looking for a program to extract some Registry keys into the ZENworks 7 inventory database.
I know I need to create a CUSTOM.INI and fill it with values. When I create the CUSTOM.INI by hand I got it to work to store the values in the inventory database.
But I need a program to read the Registry values and store them in the CUSTOM.ini file with the correct syntax.
A Script or any other small program would be helpful. I know how I could read the Registry values with REG.exe but I do not know how to store the values in the correct syntax in CUSTOM.ini?
I found zRegScan but I did not get it to work. I found out that the Program is called by the Inventory process (it appears in the TaskManager for a short time). When I run zRegScan by hand (or with a manual launched ZfDInvScanner.exe) I get the following error windows:
Title: zRegScan.exe - Common Language Runtime Debugging Services
Warning: Application has generated an exception that could not be handled. Process id=0x814, Thread id=0xf14
When I click "Cancel" I receive a 2nd Window:
Title: zRegScan.exe - No debugger found.
Warning: Registered JIT debugger is not available. An atempt to launch a JIT debugger with ...
I tried for several hours to get it operational - with no success.
The zRegScan.log does not show anything helpful.
I have WinXP SP2 and SP3 machines and ZfD7ir3a.
Thanks for your help

Adobe Reader registry keys gone when upgrading to 9.1; Need help finding

I had a couple of registry values disappear after the install of 9.1
Disable JavaScriopt in Adobe:
HKCU\Software\adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\JSPrefs (I can no longer find this key)
"bEnableJS"dword:00000000
Disable the displaying of pdf documents in web browser
HKCU\Software\adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals (I can no longer find this key)
"BrowserIntergration"=dword0000000
I am fully aware of finding the options that turn on/off the options above through the adobe edit > preferences> Javascript and Internet options. However I want to make a script that makes these changes. I no longer know the path to these key values.
I tried a file comparison between current and and modified registry to see if I could pin-point those paths I mentioned above. They do not exist to my knowledge unless Adobe renamed the keys.
Has anyone else ran into the same problem?

Strange, not showing up in 9.1.0. Guess I need to update to 9.1.1 first and see...
Thanks

Read registry value with ProcessBuilder

Hi all,
I am using the following to read the ProductID from the registry (64bit windows):
List<String> command = new ArrayList<String>();
command.add("\"C:\\Users\\User1\\reg64.exe\"");
command.add("query");
command.add("\"HKLM\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\"");
command.add("/v");
command.add("ProductID");
command.add("/reg:64");
productID = execute(command);
static private String execute(List<String> command) throws IOException, InterruptedException {
ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder(command);
Process process = pb.start();
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(process.getInputStream());
StreamReader errReader = new StreamReader(process.getErrorStream());
reader.start();
errReader.start();
process.waitFor();
reader.join();
errReader.join();
return reader.getResult();
This should basically produce the following query
"C:\Users\User1\reg64.exe" query "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" /v ProductID /reg:64
When this query is run directly in the command prompt it yields the desired result:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
ProductID REG_SZ 0032-0RM-89989898989-12334
However, the result via the processBuilder is an empty string.
If I try the processBuilder with the following:
command.add("reg"); instead of command.add("\"C:\\Users\\User1\\reg64.exe\"");
then the result is non-empty: the same as from the command prompt. However, then the ProductID is missing.
I tried the following variants of the argument:
- with and without the full path to reg64.exe
- with and without quotation marks around the path
- with and without setting the working directory for the processBuilder
but I was always getting an empty string as a result of the query.
Any fresh ideas would be appreciated :)

Read registry value

Hi
I've been looking into this for a number of days now and have hit a brick wall.
I am sure that a java application can read the JavaSoft/Prefs Hkey value on the windows registry, I recall seeing such a comment from another thread (unfortunately can't find the thread anymore).
Is my assumption correct and if so can anyone point me to a tutorial or give any advice.
Thanks
GB

Reading Registry entry from Java

Dear experts,
I need to read the registry entry's value "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International\sShortDate"
from Java.
Will anybody help?
Thanks for future response
Unique

Do you really think it is a good idea to tie a program written in a language whose main
strong point is being platform-independent to a specific platform just to get a date format ?
You might want to take a look at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/text/DateFormat.html

Webutil reading registry entries.

I have the following program unit that works in forms 6i using the win_api_environment.read_registry program unit.
l_filetype := WIN_API_ENVIRONMENT.Read_Registry
('HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\'||l_extension, null, TRUE);
-- Get associated OPEN command e.g.
-- 'c:\win32app\msoffice\winword\winword.exe "%1"'
l_command := WIN_API_ENVIRONMENT.Read_Registry
( 'HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\' || l_filetype
||'\shell\open\command'
, null, TRUE);
However, when I converted this to work with webutil by adding client_ to the win_api_environment, I get a no_data_found error.
In 6i, this returns the (default) value in the registry, if I change the null in both commands to '(default)', I still get no_data_found. If I insert a string value in the key I am looking at, it will return that key.
Basically, my question is how do I get the (default) value returned?
Thanks
Stephen

From my understanding of the source code of Client_win_api_environment.read_registry you need to explicitly pass the RegEntry as the second parameter to that function.
l_command := client_WIN_API_ENVIRONMENT.Read_Registry ( 'HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\',l_filetype ||'\shell\open\command', TRUE);
(Because of the following line in Client_win_api_environment.read_registry, see webutil.pll:
vcRoot := upper(substr(RegPath,1,instr(RegPath,'\')-1));
RegPath is trimmed to the first appearance of '\')
Hope this helps

How to read and update Registry keys on Windows?

I nedd to be able to read registry as well as DACL
to set permissions on WinNT File System.
I did that in VB, but need to do it in Java.
Any help would be appriciated.

I'm not sure if there is any freely available API for reading the registry. I'm really not very knowledgeable with any of the MS Windows operating sytems. I would imgaine the registry keys are compiled- that you can not access them via some plain text file, correct? Is there a DOS command for displaying the results of a particular registry query? This solution would be a hack, but if such a command exists, you could run it via the RunTime class and then parse the output. I would suggest using a search engine, if you have not all ready tried. I am sure that some API exists for reading the registry, but it might be a commerical package.... .... If you find an answer post it. I believe this question has arisen before, but I'm not sure if an answer was posted.

Registry Read

Hello All,
I wonder, is there any way to read registry entry using Oracle Stored Procedure?

For some of them I have googled and gone through Tom's post.
DWORD - BINARY_INTEGER

HKEY - ??
PVOID - ??? hkey = A handle to an open registry key. The key must have been opened with the KEY_QUERY_VALUE access right. Typically handles in Win32 are long (4 byte) int as far as I recall.
Pointer to a struct that can receive the data returned by the call. Should be a long pointer.
Unsure how to map these to PL/SQL types... You will need to experiment. PL/SQL itself does not explicitly support pointers. It does however have 2 pointer types. Cursors/ref cursors and LOB locators. But there is no pointer operations involved such as dereferencing for example. And you cannot really define a pointer to a string variable in PL/SQL.
However, I would expect that if you make an external proc call, all the parameters that are out values (returning data from the external call) will need to be long pointers as the ext proc interface will have to copy the return values to those memory addresses indicated by the PL/SQL variables intended to receive them.
It may be simpler though to wrap this Win32 call into a custom DLL that does the complex stuff. Opening the registry, dealing with the C data types and pointers, and in turn exposes a PL/SQL data type friendly interface that you can call via ext proc.
Writing such a DLL should be a fairly trivial exercise as this is not really a series of complex calls that need to be made, requiring complex data handling.
