Running regedit from DLL

[Maya]

Good evening,
I'm trying to run windows "regedit" from within a DLL function.
None of the following commands worked for me.
Note: notepad can be run, but not regedit!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Code: Select all

ProcedureDLL AddReg()
 ; RunProgram("regedit")
 ; RunProgram("regedit.exe","","",0)
 ; RunProgram("C:\Windows\regedit.exe") 
 ; RunProgram("regedit.exe","","c:\windows",0)
 ; ShellExecute_(0, "open", "regedit.exe", #Null, #Null, #SW_SHOW)
EndProcedure

Hi, Maya
I tested on my Win10x64 PB6.04b2

Code: Select all

RunProgram("C:\Windows\regedit.exe"); works fine

you also may test this way

Code: Select all

RunProgram("cmd", "/c regedit", "", #PB_Program_Hide)

But, I recommended use RegCreateKeyEx_(), RegSetValueEx_() and RegCloseKey_()

Hi, Maya
I tested on my Win10x64 PB6.04b2

All these commands works from outside the ProcedureDll & none of them works from inside it.
Any Help?

You can try

Code: Select all

ShellExecute_(0, "runas", "regedit.exe", #Null, #Null, #SW_SHOW)

What is your configuration ?
It works for me
Maybe you need Admin rights

Try LJ snippet it uses Admin right

@Rashad:
We had the same idea at the same time.

Hi LJ
It happens all time

The issue was with Admin Rights.
Thank you all...
Really Appreciated.
