JohnS Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Hello. This is my first post here, although I have been reading for a while trying to learn something. But now it's time for me to ask for some help, because this is to much for me and cannot get any help from the help file. I am trying to apply some registry tweaks during a Windows unattended installation, so that I have a icon view in a Classic Control Panel. They only get applyed after logging in and after Control Panel has opened once. If I apply it and then open Control Panel for the first time it will overide the settings I want. So, I have a script that: -First verifies it the key I want is already applyed. If yes, the script exits. - Second, if it is not applyed, it will open Control Panel and close it and then apply the tweak. - Third, it wil be doing second step util the tweak gets applyed. Only, it's not working because SyntaxCheck gives me an error about Else that I can't understand. Can someone help me, please? Thanks in advance $var = RegRead("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags\1\Shell", "Vid") If $var = "{0057D0E0-3573-11CF-AE69-08002B2E1262}" Then exit Else Do Run(@HomeDrive & '\ControlPanel.exe') WinWait("Control ","") WinClose("Control ", "") ; Control Panel Classic View Tweak RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\WebView\BarricadedFolders", "shell:controlpanelfolder","REG_Dword", "0") ; Control Panel Icon View RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags\1\Shell", "Vid", "REG_SZ", "{0057D0E0-3573-11CF-AE69-08002B2E1262}") Until $var = "{0057D0E0-3573-11CF-AE69-08002B2E1262}" EndIf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valuater Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 (edited) in your code you are NOT reading the variable again to get/test the new $var While 1 $var = RegRead("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags\1\Shell", "Vid") If $var = "{0057D0E0-3573-11CF-AE69-08002B2E1262}" Then Exit Else Run(@HomeDrive & '\ControlPanel.exe') WinWait("Control ", "") WinClose("Control ", "") ; Control Panel Classic View Tweak RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\WebView\BarricadedFolders", "shell:controlpanelfolder", "REG_Dword", "0") ; Control Panel Icon View RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags\1\Shell", "Vid", "REG_SZ", "{0057D0E0-3573-11CF-AE69-08002B2E1262}") EndIf WEnd or $var = RegRead("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags\1\Shell", "Vid") If $var = "{0057D0E0-3573-11CF-AE69-08002B2E1262}" Then Exit Else Do Run(@HomeDrive & '\ControlPanel.exe') WinWait("Control ", "") WinClose("Control ", "") ; Control Panel Classic View Tweak RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\WebView\BarricadedFolders", "shell:controlpanelfolder", "REG_Dword", "0") ; Control Panel Icon View RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags\1\Shell", "Vid", "REG_SZ", "{0057D0E0-3573-11CF-AE69-08002B2E1262}") $N_var = RegRead("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags\1\Shell", "Vid") Until $N_var = "{0057D0E0-3573-11CF-AE69-08002B2E1262}" EndIf 1 if ... then exit 2 if.... then exit endif 3 if...... then exit else ; do this endif 8) Edited May 26, 2006 by Valuater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
