Stumboled over the following problems when trying to interact with the Windows
registry on a 64 bit
Windows 7, SP 1, machine (German):
* It seems that the WindowsRegistry class is not able to supply access to
HKLM, i.e. local
machine. The respective attribute is not set. This seems to happen with
both, the 32 and the 64
bit ooRexx versions.
* When using the "regRead" method fo an OLEObject of type "WScript.Shell" the
following problem
occurs:
o ooRexx 32-Bit: cannot read any keys in the registry of that 64-bit W7
machine, as an OLE
error is raised with an error message that the root of the key cannot
be found.
o ooRexx 64-Bit can read those keys.
Now, I seem to remember (but am not sure as this is more than two years ago)
that it was possible to
use a 32-bit ooRexx on a 64-bit Vista and W7 system to read and write registry
entries.
In theory, it should be possible to use 32 or 64 ooRexx to interface with the
registry. Maybe I am
missing something obvious?
