Hi,
I have a quick question about queries on the registry, "reg.exe" and
regtool don't return the same format for the same value (respectively
hexadecimal and decimal):
reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Intel\LANDesk\VirusProtect6\CurrentVersion" /v
"ProductVersion"
Returns: "ProductVersion REG_DWORD 0x177a03f8"
And
regtool.exe -q get
"/HKLM/SOFTWARE/Intel/LANDesk/VirusProtect6/CurrentVersion/ProductVersion"
Returns: "393872376"
I'm interested in the hex value because it is useful to get the version
of Symantec Antivirus: 0x177a (1016 => v10.1.6), 0x03f8 (patch 6010).
I found a workaround with "bc" to obtain the hexadecimal value directly:
regtool -q get "/HKLM/.../ProductVersion" | sed -e "s/^/obase=16;/" | bc
But I'm wondering what's the rule here? Is regtool always returning
decimal values for REG_DWORD type? Is it possible to have the hex value
with regtool directly?
All the best,
Nicolas
