RegRead broken in 3.3.14 ?

[kiboost]

Hi,

I just updated from v3.3.12 to v3.3.14 and now RegRead can't read some registry value it could before.

Example for vdredist 2005_sp1 x64 MFC:
$var = RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{ad8a2fa1-06e7-4b0d-927d-6e54b3d31028}", "DisplayVersion")
ConsoleWrite(@error&@CR)

=> error 1 = unable to open requested key
No problem at all with v3.3.12 and previous.

Is there any deprecated/new stuff regarding RegRead ?

Same in 3.3.14.1 / 3.3.14.2

According to the help file: "When running on 64-bit Windows if you want to read a value specific to the 64-bit environment you have to suffix the HK... with 64 i.e. HKLM64."

works fine here, though I probably shouldn't have set that value to 1.  It may be the same return on error....  I'll continue verifying....

$var = RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{ad8a2a1-06e7-4b0d-927d-6e54b3d31028}", "DisplayVersion")

If @Error Then RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{ad8a2a1-06e7-4b0d-927d-6e54b3d31028}", "DisplayVersion" , "Reg_SZ" , "TestDisplayEntry")

$var = RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{ad8a2a1-06e7-4b0d-927d-6e54b3d31028}", "DisplayVersion")

ConsoleWrite($var & @LF & @error & @LF)

very strange thing, I copy entire autoit3 folder from another machine in v3.3.12.0 and now it works !
will try with 3.3.14 ...

Maybe AutoIt pre 3.3.14.x didn't work as documented and this was then fixed with 3.3.14.x

[iamtheky]

So what else is different about these machines (OS / Architecture / UAC)?  The troubleshooting step of "copy directories around and see what happens"  does not yield any actionable data.

I may have some configuration somewhere in autoit3 folder ...

On a working machine with 3.3.12.0:
- If I install 3.3.14.2 with installer, no problem (without reinstalling scite).
- If I download the zip package, delete my C:\autoit3\ folders and files and get them back from the zip, it doesn't work. RegRead works on some keys, but not all.

Really strange... But seems not an autoit problem, more something with my configs, maybe scite one.
