BrewManNH Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I'm guessing it's because the valuename is wrong.You have the type listed there, not the valuename.You need to add some error checking to the script to find out why it failed. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

Factfinder Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 In addition to the value name you should make sure the key itself exists. The key doesn't exist on all Windows versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 That was the point I was making when I suggested adding some error checking to his script. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

jvds Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 (edited) Hi Denil,how about MsgBox(0,'username',@UserName) wont that give you what you need?you are using the RegRead the wrong way, go look it up in the help file, if you have sciTE installed then double click the RegRead word in your script and pres f1, it will take you directly to the help file of RegRead Edited December 23, 2015 by jvds my spelling is a messy mess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Factfinder Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 The error (@error = -1) means the key exists on that particular system but as it was pointed by BrewManNH the value name is incorrect. The macro suggested by jvds (@UserName) works on all systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
