RegSetDword and Hex Values
Keywords: RegSetDword
Question:
Running Winbatch 99c on a WinNT 4.0 sp3 server.Have the following line of code within a registry update script (compiled):
RegSetDword (@REGMACHINE,"system\currentcontrolset\control\timezoneinformation[ActiveTimeBias]", 0x168)I get the following error message when I run this compiled script on a WinNT 4.0 sp4 server: 3066: Wrong Number of Arguments in Function. I have also attempted to wrap the value within quotes, but it gives me a different error message.
Any clue?
Answer:
2004F and Older sis not support passing a hex value. You needed to convert the hex value to decimal then pass it to the RegSetDword function.RegSetDword (@REGMACHINE,"system\currentcontrolset\control\timezoneinformation[ActiveTimeBias]", 360)Starting in WB 2004G (released Nov 29, 2004)
Added an optional parameter to RegQueryDword:
RegQueryDword(handle, subkey-string [, flags])
If "flags" is 1, the registry value will be returned in hexadecimal
format. If "flags" is 0 (or omitted), the registry value will be
returned in decimal format.
Added an optional parameter to RegSetDword:
RegSetDword(handle, subkey-string, value [, flags])
If "flags" is 1, "value" will be treated as a hexadecimal number. If
"flags" is 0 (or omitted), "value" will be treated as a decimal number.
Note that "value" must be a delimited string if it contains any letters.
