Write Registry Persist - plugin (Freeware)

[ParallaxiT]

stevew - you saved me a lot of frustration with this plug-in!! Thanks mate, I'll hoist a cold one tonight in your honor. (or at lunch, who knows)

Hi,
By using your plugin to rewrite the value of HKCU\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Internet Settings\\ReceiveTimeout, I noticed that it changes the type of the key from binary to string...

Is it possible not to change the type? Or, does the key type have any influence what so ever?

Thanks in advance for your help!

It appears the plug-in does not resolve variables. Is this intentional?

Hi,

I desperately need a version of this plugin (or a similar one) that will write dwords to the registry. Specifically, I have similar problem to one of the previous posters... Sql 2005 won't install properly on Windows XP SP3 due to the MSXML component having been made a set of protected system files. There is a work around provided by MS which is to set a registry key and reboot, which temporarily disables system file protection for the duration of the rebooted session... but I need to be able to write the key to the registry immediately, then reboot, then have everything else done by Windows installer.

Any chance we can get a version of this plug-in that deals to DWORD values and not strings (or as well s strings) ?

I am unable to get the write Registry Persis plugin to write the String Value Data to the registry. Does it not allow variables?

Has anyone got this plugin working IA X4?

We upgraded recently from IA 18 and now notice that it doesn't seem to write anything to the registry, nor return any errors.

I just upgraded from X10 to X13 and if I delete the old X10 folder, I can no longer compile and cannot build my project.
It crashes on the WriteRegistryPersist plugin with an Access Violation error.

If I restore my old X10 folder, it works fine.

Any ideas, steve ?

Thanks.

Marcel.

omg. this thread came back again. hmmm... let me see.

i found an error in my plug in. At some point in previous versions of installAware they started passing the internal State values enclosed in double quotes. When this started this plugin did nothing. i have corrected it. Please let me know how it goes. (also, is this plugin still required? i thought I read that this feature is now included in native installAware)

(i also just upgraded to X13. i was using IA9 these past 12 years.)

Hello Steve,

The last version of WriteRegistryPersist.exe (1.0.0.6) seems to have solved my issue.

I copied it in the IntallAware X13/Plugins folder and double-clicked on it.
The wizard asked me if I wanted to update to the new version and it completed with success.

Now, when I open my project, I can compile, build and the plugin shows normally when I click on the "About plug-in" button.
It pops a small popup with the name, the author(you) and a short description (3rd party INSTALLAWARE plug-in).

I will save this version in my SVN repository just in case anything happens to this forum.
I hope this will not happen again if we have to upgrade to another InstallAware version...

Thanks for the quick solution !
Marcel.
