Regread reg_multi_sz

[blackey]

I am currently trying to read a registry key that is using the reg_multi_sz format and i'm having no luck, i checked out the example, but it's very vague on a clear example.

Can anyone post a clear example for me? I've checked everywhere!

here's the registry key

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Assemblies\C:|WINDOWS|system32|CS_Components|COF|CS_PelcoDX8000DriverStartupNET.exe]

"CS_PelcoDX8000DriverStartupNET,Version=\"1.0.2327.29084\",PublicKeyToken=\"null\",Culture=\"neutral\""=hex(7):62,\

00,7d,00,6c,00,4b,00,50,00,49,00,44,00,64,00,34,00,40,00,52,00,6f,00,28,00,\

2e,00,3f,00,69,00,69,00,4b,00,56,00,57,00,3e,00,5d,00,78,00,54,00,6a,00,48,\

00,5b,00,3f,00,51,00,5f,00,40,00,4d,00,29,00,65,00,46,00,28,00,4f,00,58,00,\

4a,00,58,00,4f,00,00,00,00,00

Thanks

Does this work if you put your correct key in

$key = RegRead("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\As...........etc")

$Split = StringSplit ($Key, @lf)

For $i = 1 to Ubound ($split) - 1
    
    MsgBox (0,"Value", $split[$i])
    
Next

Doesn't there have to be two parameters in a regread? i.e. regread("whatever","whatever")

your example only shows one parameter, and i want to READ the value of [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Assemblies\C:|WINDOWS|system32|CS_Components|COF|CS_PelcoDX8000DriverStartupNET.exe]

Can you please fill out the rest of your script?

i.e. $key = RegRead("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\As.....fill out please......etc")

Reg_Multi_sz is normally stored in Regedit different to what is stored in a reg file. A reg file will store a unicode equivalent of the entry in the best way possible, as hex data. If you disregard the reg file and get the data directly from regedit, the you will get the string representation.

The above may look like this (notice the @LF used for multiple values)

RegWrite("HKCU\SOFTWARE\Test", "TestKey1", "REG_MULTI_SZ", "%EmAj?C%k9W7cNB_.[t[Redist_Package>Cd2HfPvUY9]I?,mmJG!9")
RegWrite("HKCU\SOFTWARE\Test", "TestKey2", "REG_MULTI_SZ", "%systemdrive%" & @LF & "%programfiles%")

But if you export to a reg file, then you get this

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Test]
"TestKey1"=hex(7):25,00,45,00,6d,00,41,00,6a,00,3f,00,43,00,25,00,6b,00,39,00,\
  57,00,37,00,63,00,4e,00,42,00,5f,00,2e,00,5b,00,74,00,5b,00,52,00,65,00,64,\
  00,69,00,73,00,74,00,5f,00,50,00,61,00,63,00,6b,00,61,00,67,00,65,00,3e,00,\
  43,00,64,00,32,00,48,00,66,00,50,00,76,00,55,00,59,00,39,00,5d,00,49,00,3f,\
  00,2c,00,6d,00,6d,00,4a,00,47,00,21,00,39,00,00,00,00,00
"TestKey2"=hex(7):25,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,64,00,72,00,69,00,\
  76,00,65,00,25,00,00,00,25,00,70,00,72,00,6f,00,67,00,72,00,61,00,6d,00,66,\
  00,69,00,6c,00,65,00,73,00,25,00,00,00,00,00

So get the data directly from regedit.

I guess my whole question is how would i get the value of "Version" in the app i'm creating the version will be different on some computers and that's the info i'm trying to extract from this reg key.
