1605 Error

[chrisf8657]

Hello again,

I have noticed that whenever I try to use a Registry Key (which is readable just fine by all other software), the Log reports Error 1605 on trying to access the key.

[02/04/2015 05:51:45] Error Script: On Startup, Line 46 (1605)

if not g_InstalledVersion then
local MainKey = HKEY_CURRENT_USER;
local SubKey = SessionVar.Expand("Software\\TestAppBuild");
local ValueName = "InstallLocation";
local FolderPath = Registry.GetValue(MainKey, SubKey, ValueName);
g_InstalledVersion = VisualPatch.CheckFolderVersion("%AppFolder%", FolderPath);
if g_InstalledVersion then
SessionVar.Set("%AppFolder%", FolderPath);
end
end

The key exists, and all other software accesses it fine like I said...it doesn't matter what I change it to, it's always the same error.

I am running Win 7 64-bit Ultimate.

Forgot to mention, I'm running as an Administrator (UAC is off)

Are you sure that the registry key is located in HKEY_CURRENT_USER and not in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE?

You could export the relevant data from the registry and attach it here, assuming that what you posted is exactly your current script.

I'm having this same problem on machines running 64-bit Windows. The following code checks to see the version of Java installed:

check_var = Registry.GetValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SOFTWARE\\JavaSoft\\Java Runtime Environment", "CurrentVersion", true);
SetupData.WriteToLogFile("Check for existing install of Java JRE ... version="..check_var.."\r\n", true);
if (check_var == "") then
check_var = Registry.GetValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SOFTWARE\\JavaSoft\\Java Development Kit", "CurrentVersion", true);
SetupData.WriteToLogFile("Check for existing install of Java JDK ... version="..check_var.."\r\n", true);
end
if (check_var ~= "") then
SessionVar.Set("%JavaCurrentVersion%", check_var);
else
SessionVar.Set("%JavaCurrentVersion%", "");
end

On a machine running 32-bit Windows, the setup log entries are:

but on 64-bit Windows machines, I see this in the log:

As far as the registry goes, the entries look identical (i.e.: HKLM\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\CurrentVersion exists)

On a 64-bit operating system, and without help (Wow64 plugin), Visual Patch cannot access HKLM\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\CurrentVersion. Any attempt to read there would be redirected to the 32-bit registry node.

Thank you for the reply. That plug-in works great!
