I'm also quite new to this forum so I'm not sure if I place this thread in the proper place but anyway here it goes.
This code snippet
reg_add,0x0,%reg%SoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerFileExts.pdfOpenWithProgids,SumatraPDF
gives the expected result in the registry, namely a ValueName SumatraPDF of ValueType REG_NONE and Value (Binary value of length zero).
But at the same time it produces the following warning in the log:
Invalid parameter count:[reg_add,0x0,%reg%SoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerFileExts.pdfOpenWithProgids,SumatraPDF]
Now this code
reg_add,0x0,%reg%SoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerFileExts.pdfOpenWithProgids
just creates an empty registry key, as it should, and is executed without warning.
If I use RegWrite in place of Reg_Add, the same results are produced.
Well, is this a bug or am I just being dumb ?
If it is a bug, it is certainly not very serious. But I treat warnings always as something to look into. Now after many occurencies of this false warning I might just miss something a bit more serious.
By the way there is a discrepany in the documentation for Reg_Add and RegWrite. I would think the keytype of 0x0 as noted in the tips for Reg_Add is correct.
Tips for Reg_Add Creating an empty registry key: Write a key using keytype as [color=#ff0000]0x0[/color] and omit the entries for ValueName and Value - this will create a new registry key at the location you specify.
Tips for RegWrite To create an empty section: Write a key using keytype as [color=#ff0000]0x1[/color] and omit the entries for key and value - this will create a new section at the location you specify.
Edit: Sorry I seem to have messed up with the color tags but I can't fix it.
