Hello,
I am working on a VFP6 software package that we distribute on CD with setup and runtime libs. One of the steps I am trying to add to the setup is to update the registry. I have tried the windows scripting and the Win32 API functions both of which gave me the same results. They work fine in Foxpro interactively but both methods write the "EditFlags" values as REG_BINARY when I run them from my setup.exe. Here is the code from my first attempt:

oShell = Createobject("WScript.Shell")
=oshell.RegWrite("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Visual.FoxPro.Application.6\EditFlags",0,"REG_DWORD")
=oshell.RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\Visual.FoxPro.Application.6\EditFlags",0,"REG_DWORD")
=oshell.RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\VFPODBC\Q326568\","Microsoft ODBC Driver QFE Q326568")
=oshell.RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\VFPODBC\Q326568\Installed",1,"REG_DWORD")
=oshell.RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\VFPODBC\Q326568\Description","Microsoft ODBC Driver QFE Q326568")
=oshell.RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\VFPODBC\Q326568\Type","Update")

Again...I also used the registry program by Rick Strahl which uses the Win32 API calls but got the same result.

Any help with this would be appreciated.

Thanks
