1605 Error

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

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.

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)

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.

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.
