Ah, but there is a catch. If you looked at my snapshot, you saw that
there are two addresses, and the server address will not neces

No doubt.

As noted elsewhere in this thread, I got what I wanted by using the PHP "exec"
command to execute a VB script, which has all the registry access I
Hope this isn't overkill but it is a module (read "COM", or "VBA module") to manipulate the registry:

I don't _need_ it for anything in the scripts
Yeah, that could be one thing that the ASP/ActiveX combo need to access the
registry for.. but if he's replacing ASP with PHP and if the ActiveX control
doesn't do anything he can't re-create in PHP, then there's no need to verify
that anything relating to ASP or ActiveX is registered and genui
I'm assuming you are intending to read the web server registry for
configuration purposes, not the client's registry. Look at the section
