This application generates WinBuilder 2013 script code from files in Microsoft reg format.
It writes the plugin_reg.bsh file, which can be used directly in WinBuilder 2013 plugins.

Reg2WbEx needs Java 6 or 7 RTE installed.

Credits: Reg2WbEx uses the new WinBuilder 2013 reg library.

Does not work with regedit4 reg files.

Correct.

 

Because the reg files for Win7PE plugins are assumed to be created in Win7 hosts, I did not implement the non-unicode reg files processing.

Why don't we start calling Reg 4 files "legacy" in the same (wrong) derogatory meaning the good MS guy use?

 

In April 2014 support for XP will end! Windows 7 and DEP and ASLR are much more secure than XP! <- these makes no sense but a little FUD is needed .

 

BTW, according to MS, also Windows 7 is soon to become "legacy", the only development platform should be 8 8.1.

P.S.: Of course the real meaning of "legacy" is completely different:

New version is uploaded.

 

When there is a REG_MULTI_SZ in the reg file, there will be output of intelligent REG_MULTI_SZ handling like this:

void doMultiString(RegHeader systemHive, String key, String value, String data) {
  ArrayList<String> result = new ArrayList();
  if (systemHive.existVal(key, value)) {
    String cand;
    String current = systemHive.getValueString(key, value);
    String[] actList = current.split(",");
    String[] newList = data.split(",");
    for (int n = 0; n < newList.length; n++) {
      cand = newList[n].trim().toLowerCase();
      boolean found = false;
      for (int a = 0; a < actList.length; a++) {
        String act = actList[a].trim().toLowerCase();
        if (cand.equals(act)) {
          found = true;
          break;
        }
      }
      if (!found) {
        result.add(newList[n].trim());
      }
    }
    if (!result.isEmpty()){
      for (int m = 0; m < result.size(); m++) {
        String single = result.get(m);
        systemHive.modifyValueMulti(key, value, single, -1);
      }
    }
  } else {
    systemHive.createValue(key, value, 0x7, data);
  }
};

Additional for plugin developers: Reg2WbEx can output some status information in case of a problem: "Develop" checkbox.
