Version-difference issue

[Anteaus]

Does anyone know why Larry's Registry-Hive functions will only work with AutoiIt v3.2.2.0 ?

I daresay the answer's in there somewhere, but if someone's met this issue before it could save me a lot of searching.

And what was the Au3Check SciTe output?

And what was the Au3Check SciTe output?

Using 3.2.12.1 no errors reported. Can try other AU3Check versions but I don't think it's gonna lead anywhere.

Update: tried 3.3.0.0 AU3Check and same result.

Sooooo... what doesn't work?

No error is reported as such, the hive load fails silently, the function returning false.

Regedit confirms that the hive did not load.

Just a quick glance: DllCall stuff got updated, look through those calls. Bet in the name changes to how things were used to how they are used, a quick rename of a constant or something would fix everything up.

Did you check the error value?

$result=regloadhive("TestHive","c:\x\ntuser.dat")

msgbox (0,@error,$result)

Zero.
