I have another problem now.. I can't write binary data to registry using cab
.inf or provisioning xml:
This is the REGEDIT4 data I wish to convert:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\ECall]
"List"=hex(7):\
31,39,31,00,39,31,32,00
I looked all over the internet for examples, and I do it exactely like that,
but every time, the registry key ends up as REG_MULTI_SZ, rather than
REG_BINARY, no matter what I try!
_setup.xml:
<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type="Registry">
<characteristic type="HKLM\Security\ECall">
<parm name="List" value="MTkxADkxMgA=" datatype="binary" />
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>
and I tried:
<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type="Registry">
<characteristic type="HKLM\Security\ECall">
<parm name="List" value=" 3139310039313200" datatype="binary" />
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>
Both will just create a REG_MULTI_SZ key with the value exactely I entered
it above.
I tried it from my .inf file too, but that doesn't create a key at all..
HKLM,Security\ECall, "List", 0x00000001, 31,39,31,00,39,31,32,00
Both cab files are reported to have installed "successfully", but registry
key will either not create any key at all (.inf version) or creates as
REG_MULTI_SZ with base64 or hex string.
Any clue?
