Should there be some kind of warning if someone on Linux wants to use this?

Yes, a compiler error

A compiler error may indicate an incorrectly written function.
What if the function is from PureLibraries?

I was joking but it's a good question for libraries that are not cross-platform

Probably not since the subject line clearly shows (windows only). which probably also excludes MAC as well.

Ooops.

Looks like someone didn't read the subject line and tried it anyway. Subject lines can be so tricky that way.

Even if (windows only) were not specified, everyone already knows that the registry exists only in Windows. When the library is compiled, it will not know which forum thread it was compiled from. To do this, the library must have some kind of flag to warn the user that this library is not intended for this OS.
When compiled, all debugger messages will be removed, so embedding a debugger message will not work.

There are no people here who will try the registry functions in Linux

I'm trying to get a list of installed programs, with some parameters.
Can anyone help me?

I think this collects all installed programs using the native Windows "winget" command:

Code: Select all

Exe = RunProgram("powershell.exe","winget list","",#PB_Program_Hide|#PB_Program_Open|#PB_Program_Read|#PB_Program_Error)
Debug "Please wait for info to be collected"
If Exe
    While ProgramRunning(Exe)
      If AvailableProgramOutput(Exe)
        Output$=ReadProgramString(Exe)
        name$ = StringField(Output$,1,"  ")
        Debug Output$
        ;Debug name$
      EndIf
    Wend
EndIf

Sorry, I don't see any parameters.
