O.P. Write a DWORD value in regedit
Hello,

how can I write a DWORD value in the register of windows?

I try:

new ActiveXObject('WScript.Shell').RegWrite(MsgPlus.ScriptRegPath + Messenger.MyEmail + "\\MyKey", "dword:00000006");

but it create a string value.

Thanks

RE: Write a DWORD value in regedit
Because
1) You entered a string (notice the quotes you used)
2) You have the parameters all wrong

Though, I'm not going to spoonfeed you as this is very basic scripting.
Instead I suggest you check out the Windows Scripting helpfile > Index > RegWrite method.

It gives you a detailed description, including an example.

;)


PS: Plus! scripting is done in JScript

Try this:

code:
new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell").RegWrite(MsgPlus.ScriptRegPath + Messenger.MyEmail + "\\MyKey",6,"REG_DWORD");


The first parameter of RegWrite is the key to write to, in this case MsgPlus.ScriptRegPath\Your@email.com\MyKey

The second parameter is the actual value, in this case 6

The third is the type you want to write, a DWORD.

Hope this helped you :)

Apparently you didn't knew the RegWrite method that well, according to your first post and this post...

errr.... what??? Now you've lost me I'm afraid :(.... You don't need SilverLight for anything...

You just need to download the Windows Scripting Documentation helpfile, open it up, and search for the function you want some info on.


PS: what you might need to do is proof that your Windows version is genuine by installing the the small Windows Genuine Advantage plug-in, or as an alternative, by running the GenuineCheck program (so you don't even need to install anything), before you download the help file. Nothing todo with SilverLight though.

The site asked to install a ActiveX and it carried me to the page of SilverLight.

Moreover it ask a test to see if windows is original…

Can you send me the chm file?

If you can't, I will search the guide on emule.

Thanks
