Having an issue with RegEnumKey

[wosteen]

I'm trying to get a list of all user keys under HKEY_USERS. I tried this and it didn't work:

$i = 0
$x = ""
$count = 0
While 1
$i = $i + 1
$x = RegEnumKey("HKEY_USERS", $i)
If @error <> 0 Then ExitLoop
MsgBox(0,"Diag","SubKey #" & $i & " under HKEY_USERS: ", $x)
WEnd

It actually increments properly but $x is empty on each iteration. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!

Are you sure $x is empty? Because you're using $x in the timeout parameter of the msgbox, it's not going to display anything.

I get this on my machine with your code.

$x = .DEFAULT

$x = S-1-5-19

$x = S-1-5-20

$x = S-1-5-21-729355473-1286879909-800860556-118049

$x = S-1-5-21-729355473-1286879909-800860556-118049_Classes

$x = S-1-5-18

Nevermind! I found it. I copied the basic code from the AutoIt help file, and there was a comma in the msgbox line instead of an ampersand.

Thanks!

You're right there is, guess that needs to be reported.

MsgBox(4096, "SubKey #" & $i & " under HKLM\Software: ", $var)

seems to me a correct syntax

Look closely at his example script, and what you wrote. It got me too, he added in the "Diag" part for the title, whereas the example from the help file doesn't have that.

For future referencing, the example now looks like this...

#include <Constants.au3>

Local $sSubKey = ""
For $i = 1 To 10
    $sSubKey = RegEnumKey("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE", $i)
    If Not (@error = 0) Then ExitLoop
    MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "SubKey #" & $i & " under HKLM\SOFTWARE: ", $sSubKey)
