Searching the Registry

I looked at the other forums posts on this subject, but my question is, can you search ALL of the registry using JUST the java API? It would be better since the program im writing is going to be used by multiple people and so it would be easier for them not to have to install additional libraries than just the Java JDK.
Thanks.

What registry? The RMI Registry? The Windows Registry? The Macy's bridal registry?
I'll assume you are referring to the Windows Registry... in which case, there is nothing in the Java API to allow you to read it in any way. Unless you can find the file that it's stored in and interpret the format (never tried that).
You'd need to find some JNI-based DLL for doing this (or write one), and you only need to have it placed with the rest of your Java code.

Search the registry for a Value, and then use the Value's data

Hoping someone here can help me. I am attempting to find a binary value in the registry and I am having no luck so far.
Here is what I currently have:
$key = "HKCU:\software\microsoft\office\15.0\Outlook\Profiles\Outlook"
Get-ChildItem $key -rec -ea SilentlyContinue | foreach {
$CurrentKey = (Get-ItemProperty -Path $_.PsPath -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)
if ($CurrentKey -match "001f6700") {
$data = $CurrentKey.PSPath
$data2 = Get-ItemProperty -Path . -Name "001f6700"
echo $data2
# $data3 = [Text.Encoding]::ASCII.getString($data2)
echo $data3

Finally got it working with this code:
$x = Get-ChildItem HKCU:\software\microsoft\office -rec -ea SilentlyContinue |
Where-Object {(Get-ItemProperty -path $_.PSPath) -match "001f6700"} |
select -Property Property, Name, PSPath
$y = Get-ItemPropertyValue -Path $X.PSPath -Name 001f6700
for($i = 0; $i -clt $x.Count; $i++)
[Text.Encoding]::unicode.getString($y[$i].syncroot)

Only One domain controller, Remote Registry service keeps DISABLING itself. Where in the registry could this be set?

This is killing my remote management. I have 4 server 2012R2 domain controllers. Only one of them is being affected with this problem. Almost everytime I check, the remote registry service is disabled again. It seems like there is a corrupt
group policy preference that keeps on attacking during a policy refresh, but I can't imagine setting a group policy to disable this service. It is needed for our remote management. Also the IP Tunnel service is also disabling. Another strange
artifact is that when I set a Windows Firewall policy to add an exception for remote administration in a group policy to my Admin workstation, it seemed to set a firewall rule in other computers to block remote administration. I can not figure out where
else this strange Windows Firewall rule Blocking remote administration could have come from. These may be related or they may not, but they are occuring on the same domain controller. I am able to set the RemoteRegistry service to enabled and to
start it (which I have done too many times now), but it constantly is being changed back to disabled. I am searching the registry to find any invalid entries or artifacts that may be affecting these two annoying effects, but I cannot find anything yet.
Any ideas? I need to know what policies will disable the remoteregistry service OR the IPTunelling service, or where in the registry this could be set to enact this during a policy refresh. Of course, any other ideas are welcome, I have spent
several days troubleshooting this, and need to conquer this by tomorrow if possible, thank you. James

Hi,
Please type
services.msc in RUN to open Services panel, navigate to the Remote Registry service. Then open its Properties and set
Startup type: Automatic. Then please check if this issue still exist.
In addition, please refer to mlippold’s suggestion (the last reply) in following thread and configure relevant
value in RemoteRegistry registry key, then check if can help you to solve this issue.
For registry items, please back up all registry items before all operations. That will help us to avoid some unexpected issue.
Remote
Registry Service stops automatically if we do not use it above 10 minutes
By the way, did you open Event Viewer and check if find any relevant errors?
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

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

Exchange setup error: "There was a problem accessing the registry on this computer"

Hi,
i am trying to install Exchange 2007 SP1 in a Windows 2003 Server standard 32 bits version.
During the "Readiness checks" i received the next error in "Hub transport role prerequisites":
Error:
There was a problem accessing the registry on this computer. This may happen if the Remote Registry service is not running; it may also indicate a network problem.
Remote Registry service is running. I've searched for the error in google and in some topics appears that the error is due to the "Client for Microsoft Networks" and "File and Printer Sharing" is not installed in the LAN properties. The server has 2 network cards and in both of them is checked. One of the connections is disabled.
I dont know what more to do, any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Can i trust the registry cleaner Error Doctor?

I don't think it is a good place for this question. Try searching a bit in a search engine like google or bing.
On a personal side, I use CCleaner and it is ok.

The registry refers to a nonexistent java runtime environment installation

I was having trouble running some Java programs (not my own) in Windows XP, and in the process I uninstalled and installed JRE versions 6, 7, and 8, one at a time, probably in the order 7, 8, 7, 6, 7. The program that had the original problem only worked in V6, but some other programs stopped working. I went back to V7, and those other programs still didn't work. The message was "the registry refers to a nonexistent java runtime environment installation". The only advice I could find with Web searches was to reinstall the JRE. Needless to say, that didn't work.
So I looked at the registry, and I found that there were still references to V8, which had been uninstalled. The first was
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\jarfile\shell\open\command - (Default) = "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_31\bin\javaw.exe" -jar "%1" %*
The folder re1.8.0_31 doesn't exist, so I changed it to jre7. That didn't work.
Then I found
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment - CurrentVersion = 1.8
I changed this to 1.7, and deleted some following entries such as
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\1.8 - JavaHome = C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_31
retaining entries such as
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\1.7 - JavaHome = C:\Program Files\Java\jre7
That worked!
So, there is a bug in the installer(s): if you uninstall V8 and install V7, the 'CurrentVersion' isn't set correctly, with the result that the registry points to a non-existent folder. The V8 uninstallation should delete these entries, or the V7 installation should change them.
Question: Where do I report this bug? Or, better still, would someone report if for me? :-)

Hello,
Here's a direct link to the place to report bugs: http://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/index.jsp
I would recommend that maybe you see if it hasn't been reported already before submitting it.
Hope it goes!

I get an alert about the registry settings are missing and to reinstall iTunes. It did that and still get the warning. ITunes won't recognize my iPhone as a result.

I get an alert saying "The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes." I reinstalled iTunes, restarted pc, and I checked what other CD/DVD burning software by searching on DVD. Results: Cyberlink DVD suite deluxe, HP Smartmedia DVD , and Windows DVD Maker, all of which I've had forever. Should I delete these and try to reinstall iTunes again? Are there other reasons that this message pops up?

Got the same Pop-up and Apple Sppt told me that UNinstalling Quicktime had fixed this issue in most other cases. I asked IF I had to start over with Uninstalling iTunes, and she answered Yes.
Read my too-long thread (below) that has an Apple Sppt link at the start about Manual Deletes of several Apple Folders/files being a Key to a proper Uninstall / Re-install of iTunes.
Do as much as you want but this is what experience led me to so far. We haven't done it yet since the iPhone Sync'd OK and CD burning is not a priority.

Failed to read/update the registry for the BO XI R2 Critical Hot Fix

We are trying to apply service pack 4 for the BO XI R2 Sp4 for SAP Integration Kits and received the following error message during install and unable to proceed:
"Failed to read/update the registry for the BO XI R2 Critical Hot Fix for Partner Integration Kits"
We had applied a Critical Hot Fix about one week ago and it might be causing the error. How do we uninstall the Critical Hot Fix if it is indeed causing the problem?
Additionally, we have uninstalled the Integration Kit and reinstalled it hoping it will solve the problem but it didn't.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I just upgraded to relaese to release 11. My PC runs Windows 7. itunes will not start. I have run Norton to fix the registry errors and have rerated my PC twice. No luck. Can anyone provided a suggested solution?

This solved everything, after uninstalling IObit Advanced SystemCare iTunes would open with Bonjour enabled however iTunes wouldn't pick up the iPhone device. I did some more digging and a few of their other applications had been installed including Game Booster. Uninstalling that put everything back to normal.
I have been given a new device by Apple who were really helpful and the guys have neever seen the docking connector disabling before. Coinsidence?
Anyway in case this helps other people these were the symptoms (might help with searches):
- Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
- iTunes 10 wouldn't open originally, just egg timer then nothing yet processes all started
- Docking connector died on the device, wouldn't even trigger a standard USB connection or light up the device
- Uninstalling iTunes etc didn't change anything
- Disabling Bonjour worked but iTunes extremely unstable, seems frozen when syncing and the sync itself, especially with app transfer, was extremely slow and the other buttons were unresponsive after clicking for two minutes before screen would change
Have sent feedback to IObit about this to see if there isn't something that can be done.
Fantastic assistance and an incredible spot from b noir. If you come to the UK you need to drop me an email as I owe you a night out on the town!

I have to tweak the registry key for the adobe photoshop cs5 bugs

Hi
i did a search around the net
and for example i have not export feature in bridge
i have to change the registry key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\DefaultLanguage\CS5]
"AdobeProductLanguage"="en_GB" or IT
to en_US or french to have the export extension
now i setup AdobeProductLanguage=en_US
does the shortcuts/hotkey change ?
i mean does photoshop cs5 or other components work like before ?
thanks
i care a lot about that
cheers

Hello Steve,
I can go on and am offered the choice to download content fron the adobe site ...
I didn't do that up to now. I tried to reinstall from the content-DVD which doesn't work
until you uninstall the (already installed) content and reinstall it later on.
In fact the content is missing, if you try to continue without reinstalling the contents!
The most curious thing to me is the fact that this happens incidently ....
It may happen on the very next start of Premiere Elements 10, it may happen
some days later after maybe 10 restarts of the software.
Thank you very much for your reply ...

No profiles were found in the registry. Outlook sync problem.

Hey guys, sorry to bother you. I've been searching for hours now to no avail. I recently reinstalled my OS on my laptop. (Xp Pro) After installing device drivers and apps, i set up my email. So good so far. I then installed my BB Desktop Manager and appeared to install correctly. Now, When I try to add Outlook as an app to sync with it says, "No profiles were found in the registry". I'm stuck at this point. Any help or links would be most appreciated.
Thanks

hello,
does your outlook have a default profile defined in outlook ?
The search box on top-right of this page is your true friend, and the public Knowledge Base too:

The registry setting ProfileImagePath and CentralProfile are not equal

Hi!
I have a user that logs on to a Citrix published desktop on a 2008 R2 server and gets a TEMP profile created. This again leads to no profile creation in our centrally profile store on a fileserver, which we have configured this to point to With a GPO.
I see when I look at the profile key in the registry for this user that
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\SID\CentralProfile points to our fileserver, and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\SID\ProfileImagePath Points to C:\Users\TEMP.
I am curious to know where I can find the reason for the ProfileImagePath pointing to C:\Users\TEMP.
I know that it should point to C:\Users\%username% for the profile to be created on our Central profile location...
Freddy

A user gets a temporary profile when an error stops the users profile from loading. (I am assuming you are using Windows to manage your roaming profiles and not Citrix User Profile Manager.)
I would search for the account name in the Application Event Log and try to identify the reason they get a temporary profile.
If you want to try and fix it you could just try changing ProfileImagePath to the correct value or delete the users entire profile and roaming profile. Steps below.
The user will loose any settings saved in their profile
With the account logged off…
Delete C:Users\TEMP
Delete C:\Users\%username%\
Delete their profile from the roaming profile share.
Delete the entire SID for this user key from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\
If this happens to the same user again, I would check permissions on the C:\Users and the roaming profile share for this user. Again the Event Log is your best bet if the problem re-occurs.
Thanks,
Jeremy

Cleaning the Registry

Windows XP pro 32 bit CF-28 computer IE 8. FP is the newest one 11.1.102.55.
From time to time I use a program to clean my registry or any thing else I need it for. It is called Regseeker. It seems to do a good job but after I use it then I find out flash player wants me to install it again so I have to uninstall it and install it again. So looks like my cleaner is removing something that shouldn't be and then it is not recognized when I go to use it?
I have looked at all the stuff that is put into the registry and made a copy of it. Can you think of any one thing that I could put into my program for the cleaner to exclude or do I need to put the whole list it it?
Thanks and hope this made since??????

Well guys I didn't get to 65 not knowing how to keep a computer cleaned up and running way past time for a clean install. So you guys do what you want and I will do like I always have. I can't afford new ones any more so my wife and I just live with it now. We do have a few computers that we use so if one goes down we grab another one and keep on going will I reload and get it back running.
I defrag maybe 4 times a year on my computer but have to do it more often on the home one. She does real work on it so it needs it often. I just search and post on my forums so I don't have the clutter.
I really doubt anyone will even have an answer for me on my post. But thought I would give it a try anyway.
The problem that I was having and what made me use the cleaner and after doing so things would go back to normal again untill I did the same thing again and the cleaner would fix it again. It has nothing to do with Flash Player but every time in the past that I would use the program I would have to reload FP. I had not realized what was going on untill this time that my cleaner was removing something that really didn't need to be removed so FP would keep on working like normal. It showes me every thing tha it found in my registry and most of it say file not found or not used or opens with and so on. So there has to be one or more things that is found that I should not remove but heck if I know what one or ones that would be? It is just one of thoes pesky little problems that happen and can be fix easy so you just live with it and go on.
My son uses the same program and he has no problem. I use the same program on the home computer and it has no problem with the player but effects something else that has to be reloaded and I do hear the wife fussing about it untill she does what the popup tells her to do and case closed.
Hope you guys have a Merry Christmas and a great New Year. And for sure we need a better year!!!!
Thanks
