Find value in registry then get then get that Regkey

[cnkinsd]

Hi Firedrich,

Here is a new one for you.

I have a need to search the registry for a specific value... I know what the value is but not where it might be in the registry, I need to find that value where ever it is then capture that regkey so that I can check for an updated file based on the search. I am specifically looking for a DriverDesc and DriverVersion which may or may not exist on any given machine. Is this possible within SB?

You may reference Reg Query as an example of what I am trying to do with the following command:
REG Query HKLM\Software\Microsoft\ResKit /v Version

I have tried several iterations of things combining different technologies which do not work, and was hoping that possibly SB could do this quite easily...

Yes sir, it is. Been trying other ways to do this without success....

Kel,

Working on a new built-in function to handle it. I'll post more information soon.

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.

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?

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.
