[moderator lonkero moved to beta from suggestions due to lack of suggestion in topic]

I was piloting version 4.21 on a WIN2K Pro test machine and found that the "USE */ DELETE" command forces a @ERROR 87.

I am currently using version 4.02 in production and the command works fine.

I found a MSKB article 173009 which states that the RegEnumValue() API could cause this if referenced improperly.

see below...

The declaration of RegEnumValue as it currently exists in the API Text Viewer is:
Declare Function RegEnumValue Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "RegEnumValueA" _
(ByVal hKey As Long, ByVal dwIndex As Long, ByVal lpValueName As _
String, lpcbValueName As Long, lpReserved As Long, lpType As Long, _
lpData As Any, lpcbData As Long) As Long


The fifth parameter, lpReserved, should be defined as ByVal. The correct declaration is:
Declare Function RegEnumValue Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "RegEnumValueA" _
(ByVal hKey As Long, ByVal dwIndex As Long, ByVal lpValueName As _
String, lpcbValueName As Long, ByVal lpReserved As Long, lpType As _
Long, lpData As Any, lpcbData As Long) As Long

Anyone else experiencing this issue?

Tom

You should type in the command correctly!
Error 87 is ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER. The correct command would be
code:
use '*' /delete
. Please see the KiXtart Manual for correct syntax.

Please do not report supposed bugs in a current release unless the bug also exists in the current beta. Since 4.22 is in beta, you should be testing and reporting on 4.22 only.

I do have the syntax correct in my script. I just typed it incorrectly in this message.

It doesn't work in 4.21 on win2k pro.

Try it with quotes. There has been some discussion on the need for quotes.

USE "*" /DELETE

In fact, Scriplogic changed their CHM to include the quotes in their example.

Thanks...that did it.

The Kixtart manual shows the command in the REMARKS section with the quotes, but the EXAMPLES section shows it without the quotes. I guess that were I got confused.

Thanks again.

Just to let you know that there is in fact a bug here: "USE * /delete" (without quotes around the *) should have worked.

It will work again in 4.22.

Can you please make sure that this is reflected correctly in the KiXtart Manual, too?

ruud, it has been that way for a while now.

anyway, I still wonder why it should work.
as, if there is no quotes around it, it's not string but symbol.
if we ever get to the point of having kixtart requiring correct syntax, these problems would not be there.

Bump
Is this fixed or not?
