Hex String to Reg File/Import Fail -
explanation
okay, gist of i'm trying accomplish. wrote batch file named str2hex2reg.bat (refer below batch script) called during installation of program, this:
str2hex2reg.bat c:\users\%username%\appdata\local\temp\libfile.dll
this batch file take filepath string , convert hex , save it's output registry file following:
windows registry editor version 5.00 [hkey_local_machine\software\company\program\component\settings] "fullpath"=hex:43,3a,5c,55,73,65,72,73,5c,44,65,76,69,6e,5c,41,70,70,44,61,74,61,5c,4c,6f,63,61,6c,5c,54,65,6d,70,5c,6c,69,62,46,69,6c,65,2e,64,6c,6c i quite pleased wrote batch file function , work correctly until point.
problem
okay here's run problem. key fullpath has string converted hex output , when open reg file looks correct; however, know fullpath key needs value this:
[hkey_local_machine\software\company\program\component\settings] "fullpath"=hex:43,3a,5c,55,73,65,72,73,5c,44,65,76,69,6e,5c,41,\ 70,70,44,61,74,61,5c,4c,6f,63,61,6c,5c,54,65,6d,70,5c,6c,69,62,\ 46,69,6c,65,2e,64,6c,6c i've tried countless times trying insert "\" after many characters no avail. i've tried following command:
reg add "%tree%" /v fullpath /t reg_binary /d %hex% which added before bottom half of batch script takes final converted hex string , adds "," every 2 characters. reluctantly, trying use reg add value registry directly whatever reason not working either.
question
so i've broken down after countless hours of frustration; ask fellow stack overflowians (lol) there i'm not doing correctly? there i'm leaving out or missing? there better way string hex reg file can import reg file after function in installer completes?
the batch script
str2hex2reg.bat
@echo off setlocal enabledelayedexpansion :stringtohex set /p "=%~1" < nul > chr.tmp %%a in (chr.tmp) fsutil file createnew zero.tmp %%~za > nul set "hex=" /f "skip=1 tokens=2" %%a in ('fc /b chr.tmp zero.tmp') set "hex=!hex!%%a" del chr.tmp zero.tmp set text=%hex% set output= /l %%i in (0,2,500) ( call set letter=!text:~%%i,2! if not "!letter!" == "" ( set output=!output!,!letter! ) else ( goto finished ) ) :finished set output=%output:~1,999% set ver=windows registry editor version 5.00 set tree=[hkey_local_machine\software\company\program\component\settings] set key1="fullpath"=hex:%output% @echo %ver% > import.reg @echo. >> import.reg @echo %tree% >> import.reg @echo %key1% >> import.reg endlocal
str2hex2reg.bat c:\users\devin\appdata\local\temp\libfile.dll with changed last lines:
