I need RegRead64, but I can't get it to work on my Win7 x64.This call fails ALWAYS! I haven't had a chance to test on Win7 but I'd take a guess that.;-)This works:root = HKEYCURRENTUSERrkey = Consolevalue = ColorTable01RegRead, key,%root%,%rkey%,%value%key64:= RegRead64(root, rkey, value)msgbox key =%key%`nkey64 =%key64%And this doesn't:root = HKEYCURRENTUSERkey = Consolevalue = ColorTable01RegRead, key,%root%,%key%,%value%key64:= RegRead64(root, key, value)msgbox key =%key%`nkey64 =%key64%(the RegRead line is overwriting your key variable so RegRead64 is fed the wrong key). Oops, that's right! But that code snipped is only something I've written to quickly test the function.

In my real program, I haven't made the same error. And anyway, even after having fixed the bug or using your code, the problem persists.Trust me, there is really something that doesn't work in RegRead64.(I haven't checked RegWrite64 because I don't need it, but I'm almost sure it has a similar problem.)BTW, I forgot to say that I use AutoHotkeyLw v1.0.48.05.L51, if that makes any difference. BTW, I forgot to say that I use AutoHotkeyLw v1.0.48.05.L51, if that makes any difference.Yeah! That's the problem!The function works fine under the regular AutoHotkey, but fails under AHKL. Pity, as I need AHKL for the unicode support and the Objects.EDITOK, the solution is simple!

I should have read the AHKL doc before posting here.Under AHKLw (unicode build), simply replace 'str' by 'AStr' in all DLL calls. I still have to check if the returned value is correct when it's a string (as my example retrieves an integer), but I guess it will be OK.EDIT2No, that doesn't work. See my next post for the correct solution. Hum, the fix in my previous post doesn't work when a string is retrieved (such as a REGSZ value type).The correct fix for AHKLw (unicode build) is this one:Do not change the 'str' arguments as explained in my previous post. It's not necessary.Replace ExA by ExW at the end of all function names in all DLLcalls. (Only RegCloseKey doesn't need to be modified.)You might also want to increase the default value of the DataMaxSize argument in RegRead64 from 1024 to 2048, to take the 'double size' of unicode strings into account.

May 27, 2011  I have validated and it does run properly, in the sense that I correctly reads the current value of the registry key. After that it fail when trying to execute either of the objShell.RegWrite statements, spitting out and error: Invalid root in registry key HKLMSOFTWAREWow6432NodeMicrosoftJet4.0EnginesDebugJETSHOWPLAN 80070005. How to manipulate the local registry in VBScript.

Okay, I will try asking this question again.I used this code: Dim WshShellSet WshShell = WScript.CreateObject('WScript.Shell')WshShell.RegWrite 'HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystemtest', 1, 'REGDWORD'I get the error 'Invalid root in registry key' Code: 80070005 (Access Denied)The code works with other registry roots. I am logged on as an administrator. It works when I run it from an elevated command prompt. But I am making this VBS as a prank to a friend to make him not know what I'm doing. The best way to distribute registry setting is by exporting the part of a registry where this setting is active to a.reg file with the registry editor. In the save part of the export dialog you choose Win9x/NT4 as format. You can check the.reg file with an editor.

The user only has to double click the.reg file and confirm the prompt and possibly reboot his pc. Even normal users should be able to do this. If the registrybranch you try to change is protected by security he wil have to do this with admin right and possibly (depenidng on OS version) start regedit with the the regedt32.exe executable and first adapt the security of that branch so that it can be changed.Doing this with a script means having to pass additional layers of security to make sure this isn't a malicious script.
