Clarion 6 GetReg

[NewsArchive]

Hi Friedrich,

Couple of days ago as I was testing my post-installer, I decided to
figure out if the Clarion 6 GetReg opened the keys in read-only mode
so that I could rest assured that it would be able to read the HKLM
keys that I add to in the installer in order to find things after the
install is done.

I ran RegMon from SysInternals (where would we be without them!!!) and
checked everything that happened as my app opened the various keys and
read from them.

As far as I can tell, GetReg ALWAYS opens key in READ-ONLY mode so
using GetReg should be fine and should not cause any problems as long
as the user has read rights to the keys.

Perfect! Because a standard user is permitted read access to all keys in
the registry, we should be on the safe side with C6.

Thanks for the information.
