Issue adding cmd.exe to registry

Hi all,

i want to add a commandline to registry. My Code is:

Code:

$SUCCESS = 0
If ExistKey("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run") <> $SUCCESS
If AddKey("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run") <> $SUCCESS
? "AddKey failed with error code (" = @ERROR + ")"
Exit @ERROR<>0
Endif
Endif
If InGroup ("DENBG_All")
If WriteValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run","RunBGInfo","cmd.exe /c BGInfo\BGinfo.exe BGinfo\denbgAll.bgi /TIMER:0 /NOLICPROMPT","REG_SZ") = $SUCCESS
	? "Value written to registry successfully"
Else
	? "WriteValue failed with error code (" + @ERROR + ")"
Exit @ERROR<>0
Endif
Endif

The main part is this:

Code:

If WriteValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run","RunBGInfo","cmd.exe /c BGInfo\BGinfo.exe BGinfo\denbgAll.bgi /TIMER:0 /NOLICPROMPT","REG_SZ") = $SUCCESS

but here I should insert following to this reg key or it does not work

"cmd.exe /c "BGInfo\BGinfo.exe BGinfo\denbgAll.bgi" /TIMER:0 /NOLICPROMPT"

and the quotation marks (here bold) does not work. Kixtart tells an error that it is missing commas.If I delete these, the command will not work.

The Idea is to run bginfo every time local, so it would also work if the notebooks have no network connection.

Any ideas?

Thank you very much
Stefan

That is not the main problem. Maybe I ask if the value already exist before write it to registry. Thank You Edited by G0bi (2010-06-22 11:53 AM)

G0bi G0bi Fresh Scripter Registered: 2010-06-22 Posts: 5 Loc: Baden-Württemberg, Germany	it is really doing well, the only problem i have is that kix does not understand that i need the quotation marks and does interpret these wrong. If I delete the quotation marks the key will be successfull added. I could also just call a batch, but i want to call the command directly Thank you

Glenn Barnas Glenn Barnas KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-01-28 Posts: 4401 Loc: New Jersey	Try using single quotes where KIX wants the quotes, and double-quotes inside those where the parameter wants them. Code: WriteValue('HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run','RunBGInfo','cmd.exe /c "BGInfo\BGinfo.exe BGinfo\denbgAll.bgi /TIMER:0 /NOLICPROMPT"','REG_SZ') I always use single quotes for Kix so that commands that require double quotes will work.

G0bi G0bi Fresh Scripter Registered: 2010-06-22 Posts: 5 Loc: Baden-Württemberg, Germany	One more question, how could it be done, that the script check if the Value in this key exists and if not do something. Thank You Stefan

kelp7 kelp7 Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2002-08-12 Posts: 124 Loc: UK	Hi I recently made a script that checked a registry key's value for the build number of novell groupwise and then do something if it was a certain build, my code was just: Code: $x = ReadValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Novell\GroupWise","BuildNumber") IF $x >= 3007 REM THIS IS WHERE YOU WOULD DO WHAT YOU WANT IT TO DO ENDIF
