Re: Find value in registry then get then get that Regkey

Kel,

The following is available in SetupBuilder 2017 Version 10 Build 5368 (December 19, 2016) now:

NEW : Add "Search for Registry Value..." script function. This lets you find a value in the Windows registry.

Update: the new "Search Registry Value Name..." script function seems to work fine now. Ready to test

Kel,

So sorry to hear Hope you are doing better now!

I have added a SearchReg function to SetupBuilder. We'll compile a new internal version this weekend. It would be great if you could test the new feature.

Thanks,
Friedrich

Friedrich,

Thank you for your tenacity. Sorry it has been so long for me getting back with you, medical issues caused me to be absent from work for some time, but I am back and ready to assist where needed. Just let me know.

Kel,

I haven't forgotten about you. This is a very very complicated function (has to be recursively called) and still does not work as expected. I think that's the reason why there is no standard Windows API available to handle it.

Still working on it...

Absolutely, I am willing to test what ever you need me to. Anything to keep this product valuable.

Just let me know, I can send you an email if you need me to.

Kel,

It was not a trivial task to add this feature (it's a complex recursive function). I think we'll have a test version available next week. Would it be possible for you to test it in your scenario?

Hi Kel,

Thank you !!!

We have added a new "Search for Registry Key Value..." script function to the latest internal build (still needs some optimization). This will be available in the next maintenance build.

This is why this software ROCKS so hard!
