Hi Guys,

maybe u can help... i have to set a special regkey for running safeboot in vistape. i tried several ways to set this key the right way - but it doesent set the right way.

in the registry, the key should be:

UpperFilters REG_MULTI_SZ PartMgr SAFEBOOT

but the clue is:
PartMgr SAFEBOOT ist not "PartMgr[Space]SAFEBOOT" it has to be "PartMgr[ENTER]SAFEBOOT" and i cant find a way to include this.

i tried to set it with binary code, but even this does not work for me.

50,00,61,00,72,00,74,00,4d,00,67,00,72,00,00,00,53,00,41,00,46,00,45,00,42,00,4f
,00,54,00,00,00,00,00 would be the binary code needed. if i try this, the reg key looks like this:

UpperFilters REG_MULTI_SZ 50,00,61,00,72,00,74....etc

can someone give me a hint please? this is the last step to get safeboot running. (tried it with modified wim file, this way it already works, but i would like to complete my app script)

thanks in advance,
camo

I have no idea of what you are talking about , but I can tell you that:
A MULTI_SZ needs to be coded as "hex(7):" in a .REG.

See here:
http://windowsitpro....-reg-files.html

In other words a REG file would be:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_<your hive>\<your path>]
"UpperFilters"=hex(7):50,00,61,00,72,00,74,00,4d,00,67,00,72,00,00,00,53,00,41,\
00,46,00,45,00,42,00,4f,00,54,00,00,00,00,00

Could you actually expand on what the "final goal" is?

&#91;HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\<your path>&#93;

&#34;UpperFilters&#34;=hex&#40;7&#41;&#58;50,00,61,00,72,00,74,00,4d,00,67,00,72,00,00,00,53,00,41,\

00,46,00,45,00,42,00,4f,00,54,00,00,00,00,00

this is exactly what it is, if i export the key from working registry.
but if i open registry, go to this key, and look at it, it shows up like this:

UpperFilters   REG_MULTI_SZ	 PartMgr SAFEBOOT

if u rightklick it and choose "change" it shows up like this:

Valuename:

UpperFilters



Value:

PartMgr

SAFEBOOT

i am only able to set the key to:

Value:

PartMgr SAFEBOOT

if u look at "binary change" the value between the word PartMgr and the word SAFEBOOT should be 00,00,00 (middle 00 is like enter) -> i only can set 00,20,00 (20 is a space).

i know how to set a key, i know how to set it where i want to, that is not the problem.
i am not able to set the 00 or enter key between PartMgr and SAFEBOOT.

hope this makes it a bit more clear what i want to know. sorry its hard to describe it more specific, i am not a native english speaker.

to be sure i add a screenshot how the key has to be - maybe anyone can tell me how it get this set exactly.

I still do not understand.

This is exactly what happens on MULTI_SZ keys:

but if i open registry, go to this key, and look at it, it shows up like this:



[code]UpperFilters   REG_MULTI_SZ	 PartMgr SAFEBOOT

if u rightklick it and choose "change" it shows up like this:

Valuename:

UpperFilters



Value:

PartMgr

SAFEBOOT

This is what I DO NOT understand:

i am only able to set the key to:

Value:

PartMgr SAFEBOOT

Set HOW?


If you IMPORT the .REG file isn't the result what you wish?

to set in in vistape with the script.
i use regwrite to set keys.

RegWrite,"HKLM",0x7,"Local_Machine\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{4D36E967-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}","UpperFilters",50,00,61,00,72,00,74,00,4d,00,67,00,72,00,00,00,53,00,41,\

00,46,00,45,00,42,00,4f,00,54,00,00,00,00,00

does not work, registry key looks like:
UpperFilters REG_MULTI_SZ 50 00 61 ....etc

RegWrite,"HKLM",0x7,"Local_Machine\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{4D36E967-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}","UpperFilters","50","00","61","00","72","00","74","00","4d","00","67","00","72","00","00","00","53","00","41","00","46","00","45","00","42","00","4f","00","4f","00","54","00","00","00","00","00"

does not work, registry key looks like:
UpperFilters REG_MULTI_SZ 50 00 61 ....etc

RegWrite,"HKLM",0x7,"Local_Machine\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{4D36E967-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}","UpperFilters","PartMgr SAFEBOOT"

does not work either, registry key looks like it should, but is wrong if u look binary on it, it is seperated by these 00,20,00 (wich is a space key) should be 00,00,00. (look at screenshot last post)

[dera]

what about

RegWrite,"HKLM",0x7, etc... ,"UpperFilters","PartMgr","SAFEBOOT"

[was_jaclaz]

I see.

You are using Winbuilder command "RegWrite".

The syntax could have been more clear:
http://winbuilder.ne...ipt_syntax.html

If you sum this:

RegWrite,<HKEY>,<KeyType>,<Section>,<Keyname>,<Value>

with this:

Valid key type values

• 0x0 - Empty key
• 0x1 - String - writes a text value
• 0x2 - Expanded String - will expand any variable value contained inside %%. (e.g. %temp%)
• 0x3 - Binary data - adds data in binary format. Each byte is specified by groups of two digits splitting each value with commas
• 0x4 - Dword - writes a numeric value
• 0x7 - Writes multiple NULL separated strings

You get:

RegWrite,<HKEY>,<KeyType>,<Section>,<Keyname>,<Value>[,<Value2>] [,...] [,Valuen]

and

Valid key type values

• 0x0 - Empty key
• 0x1 - String - writes a text value
• 0x2 - Expanded String - will expand any variable value contained inside %%. (e.g. %temp%)
• 0x3 - Binary data - adds data in binary format. Each byte is specified by groups of two digits splitting each value with commas
• 0x4 - Dword - writes a numeric value
• 0x7 - Writes multiple NULL separated strings. Each string is separated by commas.

Which is what dera suggested , but you are right, it is not intuitive.

The item is better represented in the .chm help file paraglider was so kind to create:
http://www.paraglide.../winbuilder.chm
but only in the Reg_Add (Common API function).
