I have a question about RegistryValueChangeEvent that I have not been able to
find an answer to on the internet so far. I would appreciate any help since I
have already spent a lot of time finding any material that explains this:
What I am trying to do:
- create an event when a value for a registry key changes
How I am doing it:
>raw_wql = "SELECT * FROM RegistryValueChangeEvent WHERE
>Hive='HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE' AND KeyPath='Software\\\\Temp' AND ValueName='Name\'"
>watcher = c.watch_for(raw_wql=raw_wql,wmi_class = "__ExtrinsicEvent")
>while TRUE:
> process_created = watcher()
Problem:
the _wmi_event object returned is not coming back as Extrinsic event -
So, in wmi.py, in class _wmi_watcher:
"self.is_extrinsic" returns false and I get an exception from the else part
- [line 1186 - 1195]
What I need
- Any reference/idea/explanation on => why does RegistryValueChangeEvent
returns as a Non-Extrinsic event? even though it has been derived from
__ExtrinsicEvent
