help with regwrite please

[shep211]

I need to change a uninstallstring but it has " " in the string and is screwing up autoit. I am unsure how to fix this in autoit.

RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ST6UNST #1", "UninstallString", "REG_SZ", "C:\WINDOWS\st6unst.exe -n "F:\Apps\SherlockV2\ST6UNST.LOG" ")

error = missing separator character after keyword.

Thank you for the help.

RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ST6UNST #1", "UninstallString", "REG_SZ", 'C:\WINDOWS\st6unst.exe -n "F:\Apps\SherlockV2\ST6UNST.LOG"')

RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ST6UNST #1", "UninstallString", "REG_SZ", "C:\WINDOWS\st6unst.exe -n "F:\Apps\SherlockV2\ST6UNST.LOG" ")

I can see where you have gone wrong.

Basically, you are trying to tell it to insert the following:

C:\WINDOWS\st6unst.exe -n "F:\Apps\SherlockV2\ST6UNST.LOG"

However, have a look again:

C:\WINDOWS\st6unst.exe -n "F:\Apps\SherlockV2\ST6UNST.LOG"

You are exiting what to input when you put in the new "

So, try this instead:

RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ST6UNST #1", "UninstallString", "REG_SZ", 'C:\WINDOWS\st6unst.exe -n "F:\Apps\SherlockV2\ST6UNST.LOG" ')

All I have done, is changed the value container so it is surrounded by single quotation marks instead of double.

That should work.
