How to Create Binary Registry in this Imange

when run script dot (...) in my script in registy binary is 2E not 00

Thank`S For this Forum..

What about using the Hex() function?

RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics", "MenuFont", "REG_BINARY", Hex("VALUE"))

Try something more like this:

RegWrite ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics","MenuFont","REG_BINARY",0xF4FFFFFF000000000000000000000000) ; only part of the binary code, fill the rest yourself

Thank`s KaFu it`s work..

Can I add on a quick question related to this situation?

I've tried exporting a binary registry key

"LicenseInformation"=hex:42,b4,c4,72,ae,bb,3e,e4,20,33,ab,b3,a3,bb,3e,e4,20,33,\

ab,b3,a3,bb,ff,a9,bd,35,82,42,2e,97,50,02,42,15,5c,a2,41

And then try to do a RegWrite on the same data:

RegWrite("HKLM\SOFTWARE\McAfee\DesktopProtection","LicenseInformation","REG_BINARY", "42,b4,c4,72,ae,bb,3e,e4,20,33,ab,b3,a3,bb,3e,e4,20,33,ab,b3,a3,bb,ff,a9,bd,35,82,42,2e,97,50,02,42,15,5c,a2,41")

Once imported via my au script, the registry data is not the same as I exported:

"LicenseInformation"=hex:30,30,30,30,30,30,32,41

I know I'm bumping up against a conversion problem, either with regedit, or AU, but despite having tried the data several ways (removing commas, etc), i can't get it to work.

any ideas are very much appreciated, as I have a project I have to get out the door today, and this is hanging me up

thanks all,

Try this:

RegWrite("HKLM\SOFTWARE\McAfee\DesktopProtection","LicenseInformation","REG_BINARY", 0x42b4c472aebb3ee42033abb3a3bb3ee42033abb3a3bbffa9bd3582422e97500242155ca241)

You should use real binary data

$binary = Binary("0x42b4c472aebb3ee42033abb3a3bb3ee42033abb3a3bbffa9bd3582422e97500242155ca241")
RegWrite("HKLM\SOFTWARE\McAfee\DesktopProtection","LicenseInformation","REG_BINARY", $binary)

; one line: 
RegWrite("HKLM\SOFTWARE\McAfee\DesktopProtection","LicenseInformation","REG_BINARY", Binary("0x42b4c472aebb3ee42033abb3a3bb3ee42033abb3a3bbffa9bd3582422e97500242155ca241"))

right, because when you export from regedit, it converts to hex, yes? I guess that's where I'm stuck, I haven't found a way to get the data from hex to binary. but also, I've read that Autoit does some if this type of conversion automatically... so do I even need to convert first?

Trying those examples now...

thanks guys,

I tried the example from ProgAndy first, and it's working great. So thanks to the both of you for taking the time to help out.
