RegQueryMulSz Problem
Keywords: RegQueryMulSz Truncated String RegRead
Question:
I want to get the machines preffered interface language on a Win7 computer using:Language = RegQueryMulSz(@REGCURRENT, "Control Panel\Desktop\MuiCached[MachinePreferredUILanguages]",@TAB,32)Instead of getting "en-US" the answer is just "en-U".What I am doing wrong?
Answer:
You're not doing anything wrong. It looks like the underlying Win32 API functions aren't working as MSFT documentation describes for an REG_MULTI_SZ value with only a single string. We'll need to fix this in WinBatch with a workaround of some kind.You could try using a COM Automation object that has the ability to read the registry as a workaround.
objWScript = ObjectCreate("WScript.Shell")
aValues = objWScript.RegRead("HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\MuiCached\MachinePreferredUILanguages")
Message("MachinePreferredUILanguages", aValues[0])
We should have a 'RegQueryMulSz' fix in the following release. Thanks for taking the time to report the problem.
