Reg_Qword

Hi All,

Anybody know if Kixtart does / will / never will support the Reg_Qword type? I was hoping to use it

Yap, as I said, it's that 64bit thing

Re: Reg_Qword

Okay, but to answer the question.

I don't know if it's supported with KiXtart or not. I don't see QWORD listed in the lasted v4.52 Word Document that ships with KiXtart.

Re: Reg_Qword

Yeah,

I thought for a second that if it was displayed as Binary data in regedit, why couldn't we write it as REG_BINARY.
But this will most probably fail

Re: Reg_Qword

Don't have any 64Bit Windows systems to test it on.

Re: Reg_Qword

eh?
you think it has anything to do with 64bit windows?
it's a 64bit integer, but it nowhere says it has relation to 64 OS.

just my 1,74 cents (that's approx 10 finnish pennies)

Re: Reg_Qword

Artie,

Have you got some examples of QWORD registry values?

We can probably create a UDF to read/write them while you are waiting for an enhancement, but as the stock Regedit does not allow the creation of QWORD values it's a bit of a bugger to test.

Re: Reg_Qword

Hi Richard,

Below is an export I did from the registry on a workstation. The "LastModified"=hex(b) Item is what appears as a REG_QWORD.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Safer\CodeIdentifiers\262144\Paths\{020bdcdf-b69c-4b3e-9e59-b1398714fdce}]

"LastModified"=hex(b):48,c6,fd,c1,a5,5c,c6,01

"Description"=""

"SaferFlags"=dword:00000000

"ItemData"="*.bat"

Re: Reg_Qword

Get your hands on a vista box, Richard

The vista regedit supports the REG_QWORD.

Re: Reg_Qword

REG_QWORD was first introduced in Windows 2000 to support 64-bit integers. you should be able to read REG_QWORD via wMI. See fnWMIWriteValue() - Write to a local or remote registry using WMI with authentication and StdRegProv . The funy thing is that accordign to Microsoft, even though there is a GetQWORDValue/SetQWORDValue it is not supported on any OS besides vista
