kalzanth 0 Posted May 1, 2010 Hi I'm new to auto it and scripting in general. I can't get RegRead to work, right now I'm trying to just get the key to read properly. $var = RegRead ( "(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup", "Installation Sources") MsgBox (0, "", "The registry key is" &$var ) Essentially I'm trying to build a small script that will set the installation source to a single specific folder. But it won't even tell me what's there currently. Boo. What am I doing wrong? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GEOSoft 67 Posted May 1, 2010 (edited) Could be a few reasons. Run this instead. $var = RegRead ( "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup", "Installation Sources") MsgBox (0, "", "The registry key is" &$var & @CRLF & "Error Returned: " & @Error) Edited May 1, 2010 by GEOSoft GeorgeQuestion about decompiling code?

ripdad 100 Posted May 1, 2010 You have a typo: RegRead ( "(HKEY Try this: $var = RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup", "Installation Sources") MsgBox (0, "", "Installation Sources: " & @CRLF & @CRLF & $var ) "The mediocre teacher tells.

It always seems something simple like that and despite looking over it 40 times I still missed it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
