Complete Registry search

DigDeep · July 8, 2017

Hi,

I am sure this would have been already done earlier but I am not able to search the correct forum.

I would like to search the name KB2565063 present anywhere in the registry and either just display on msgbox or store at a location. As per my search I see this name available at many places in the registry key and value Data too. The issue is that neither I would know the complete path nor I would know if it is written just as a keyname or at the end of the keyname.

something like:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{1D8E6291-B0D5-35EC-8441-6616F567A0F7}.KB2565063

HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Updates\Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x64 Redistributable - 10.0.40219\SP1\KB2565063

I was checking the _RegEnumVal function but not able to see how I can search throughout the Keys.

Thanks @DXRW4E

I did re-lookup with your method and was able to get all the keys from the $KeyName into $Filepath but I am still struggling with the filereadline to search for the specific word 'KB2565063'.

The msgbox does not display anything. What am I doing wrong here? or can this be made more simpler?

;~ #RequireAdmin
#include <_RegEnumKeyValEx.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
#include <Constants.au3>
#include <_FindInFile.au3>
#include <File.au3>

Global $a, $KeyName

$KeyName = "HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall"

$a = _RegEnumKeyEx($KeyName, 256, "*", "*Ver*on*")
; _ArrayDisplay($a)

Local $FileDir = _FileListToArray($a)
Local $FilePath = "C:\Temp\Patch.txt"
_FileWriteFromArray($FilePath, $a, 1)

Local $iCountLines = _FileCountLines($FilePath)
Local $arr[$iCountLines]
$i = 1
While $i <= $iCountLines
    Local $line = FileReadLine($FilePath, $i)
    $Result = StringInStr($line, "KB2565063")

    If $Result <> 0 Then
        MsgBox(0, '', $Result)
    EndIf

    $i = $i + 1
WEnd

Well, I corrected the Array copying to the fileoutput here and re-adding the code above.

Please help...

What do not understand here ???? Function return array ????, Said that because it must be all very very very simple

$aKeyValList = _RegEnumKeyEx("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall", 128 + 256, "*KB2565063*")
_ArrayDisplay($aKeyValList)

;Return 2D array all Keys\Subkes\Values ect ect
$aKeyValList = _RegEnumKeyEx("HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall", 128 + 256, "*KB2565063*")
_ArrayDisplay($aKeyValList)

For $i = 1 To $aKeyValList[0][0]
;   $aKeyValList[i][0] -> Key\SubKeys Path
;   $aKeyValList[i][1] -> Value name
;   $aKeyValList[i][2] -> Value Type (REG_NONE or REG_SZ or REG_EXPAND_SZ ect ect)
;   $aKeyValList[i][3] -> Value Data (If is set $iFlag = 256 Else Value Data = "")
Next

so you have the FULL array, after you do whatever you want ect ect ect

Ciao.

That's looking close to what I am ooking for.

But I want to search / validate for the KBXXXX and if found, just want the output as word KBXXXX and not the Full Array.

I tried with ArrayDelete but I might be doing wrong.

I am trying to do via stringtrimleft but it does not delete the strings.

;~ #RequireAdmin
#include <_RegEnumKeyValEx.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
#include <Constants.au3>
#include <_FindInFile.au3>
#include <File.au3>

Global $a, $KeyName

$KeyName = "HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall"
$KB = "*KB" & "2565063*"

$a = _RegEnumKeyEx($KeyName, 128 + 256, $KB)
;~ $display = _ArrayDisplay($a, "", "1|3")

Local $FilePath = "C:\Temp\Patch.txt"
$write = _FileWriteFromArray($FilePath, $a, 1, 1)
Local $sFile = FileOpen($FilePath)
Local $sString = FileRead($sFile)
Local $iPosition = StringInStr($sString, "REG_SZ|")
$String1 = StringTrimLeft($sString, $iPosition)
FileClose($sFile)

$display output shows as:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{1D8E6291-B0D5-35EC-8441-6616F567A0F7}.KB2565063||REG_SZ|KB2565063

I would need the output as: KB2565063

DXRW4E · July 9, 2017

I still do not understand why you must first write everything in the text file ????, you already have the full array, what else is needed

For $i = 1 To $aKeyValList[0][0]
    If $aKeyValList[$i][2] == "REG_SZ" Then
        ConsoleWrite($aKeyValList[$i][3] & @LF)
    EndIf
Next

Ciao.

To just get the KB number you can use StringRegexpReplace

Local $s_REG = 'HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{1D8E6291-B0D5-35EC-8441-6616F567A0F7}.KB2565063||REG_SZ|KB2565063 '
MsgBox(0,'', StringRegExpReplace($s_REG, '(?i).*?(KB[[:digit:]]{5,}).*', "$1"))

DigDeep · July 9, 2017

I wasn't able to validate the word KB2565063 from the below section, which is why I was trying out the long way to get the result in Text file and then string it and get the final output with the KBXXXX.

$a = _RegEnumKeyEx($KeyName, 128 + 256, $KB)

What is $aKeyValList here?

Finally worked as per needed using both ways.

Thanks @benners

specially @DXRW4E for staying long with me.

Hi @DXRW4E, I am seeing some issues since few days with the below code.

Error: Subscript used on non-accessible variable at line

For $i = 1 To $aKeyValList[0][0]

DXRW4E · August 4, 2017

Hi DigDeep, I wrote those lines quickly to give a simple example, but obviously the code will have to be

; Return values .: Success  - Return Array List (See Remarks)
;                 Failure - @Error
;                 |1 = Invalid $sFilter
;                 |2 = No Key-SubKey(s) Found
;                 |3 = Invalid $vFilter
;                 |4 = No Value-Name(s) Found

;Return 2D array all Keys\Subkes\Values ect ect
$aKeyValList = _RegEnumKeyEx("HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall", 128 + 256, "*KB2565063*")
If IsArray($aKeyValList) Then
    For $i = 1 To $aKeyValList[0][0]
    ;   $aKeyValList[i][0] -> Key\SubKeys Path
    ;   $aKeyValList[i][1] -> Value name
    ;   $aKeyValList[i][2] -> Value Type (REG_NONE or REG_SZ or REG_EXPAND_SZ ect ect)
    ;   $aKeyValList[i][3] -> Value Data (If is set $iFlag = 256 Else Value Data = "")
    Next
EndIf

;Or 

;Return 2D array all Keys\Subkes\Values ect ect
$aKeyValList = _RegEnumKeyEx("HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall", 128 + 256, "*KB2565063*")
If Not @Error Then
    For $i = 1 To $aKeyValList[0][0]
    ;   $aKeyValList[i][0] -> Key\SubKeys Path
    ;   $aKeyValList[i][1] -> Value name
    ;   $aKeyValList[i][2] -> Value Type (REG_NONE or REG_SZ or REG_EXPAND_SZ ect ect)
    ;   $aKeyValList[i][3] -> Value Data (If is set $iFlag = 256 Else Value Data = "")
    Next
EndIf
