Edit Registry not working for...

[NewsArchive]

Okay Friedrich, I apologize for all the questions, I've been neck deep into
Setup Builder all day yesterday and probably so today......

I cannot get Edit Registry to work. I need to edit an existing registry
value or insert the keys and DWORD if they do not exist.

This is what I need to edit:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserLis t\

DWORD = a user account name created during my install and it equals 0.

Here is what I did in Setup Builder in the EDIT REGISTRY section:

Edit Registry (Create/update key and value) "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserLis t" Permitme

Thanks,

Don

I have developed and attached a small example for you.

It sets the "Permitme" value to 1 (see screenshots). If the function
succeeds, the %_SB_ERRORCODE% return value is zero.

Does this help?

BTW, and if you are running a x64 operating system, make sure that you are
looking in the right registry branch ;-)

Sorry Friedrich. I did not know about the WOW6432 split in 64 bit system.
Setup Builder is working perfectly.

I used your scripting capabilities to detect a 64 bit OS. If 64 bit, edits
64 bit registry, if 32 bit, edits 32 bit registry.

WOW!!!! Setup Builder Rocks!
