About Modifying Reg Key

[tonysing]

Hello guy, I have just made a update patch for IE 11, including to disable some function of IE (i.e. auto upgrade)

However, thing goes wrong when I try to modify the reg key

#RequireAdmin
RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MAIN","EnableAutoUpgrade","REG_DWORD",0)
RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\BrowserEmulation","AllSitesCompatibilityMode","REG_DWORD",0)
RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\BrowserEmulation","IntranetCompatibilityMode","REG_DWORD",0)

Can anyone tell one what's going wrong in my program? Thanks a lot

I don't see anything wrong with the sample you post. What is wrong? What error message did you receive? Perhaps you can post the whole script so we can see what's wrong.

After running the script, nothing happen. So that's the problem.

Those reg key remain unchanged

As I have to do the patch for both 32 bit and 64 bit system,

I wonder if different reg key is used in 64 bit system

Are your trying to change this keys on a x64 System with a x86 compiled script?
Then you have to use:

RegWrite("HKLM64\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MAIN","EnableAutoUpgrade","REG_DWORD",0)
RegWrite("HKLM64\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\BrowserEmulation","AllSitesCompatibilityMode","REG_DWORD",0)
RegWrite("HKLM64\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\BrowserEmulation","IntranetCompatibilityMode","REG_DWORD",0)

Cause else they will be written to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWOW6432NodeMicrosoftInternet Explorer ....

Also on x64 Systems you need to know that there exists a x64 iexplore.exe and a x86 iexplore.exe -> so you have to set the keys for the version you use

Wow, Thanks a lot. At least it can solve my doubt. I will try it now and see if the problem is solve.

Besides, I want to know that when the modification apply on the computer? Is that after the script the keys will change immediately?

The problem is solved, thanks for your effort
