Hi all,
I'm trying to read a registry value in NAV2016. I've defined a DotNetVariable as
If I look in Regedit, I see a registry key I'm looking for. I exported it to a .reg file and here is the contents:
In my NAV Code, I defined a text variable "TestAcroLoc" and execute the following statement:
The return value of "TestAcroLoc" is 'null'.
I've tried an extra backslash at the end of the registry value with the same result. Also using double-backslashes instead of backslash.
Does anyone see any obvious errors?
Thanks.
Ron
I'm trying to read a registry value in NAV2016. I've defined a DotNetVariable as
ProcessFileName Microsoft.Win32.Registry.'mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'
If I look in Regedit, I see a registry key I'm looking for. I exported it to a .reg file and here is the contents:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\Acrobat.exe] @="C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Acrobat DC\\Acrobat\\Acrobat.exe" "Path"="C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Acrobat DC\\Acrobat\\"
In my NAV Code, I defined a text variable "TestAcroLoc" and execute the following statement:
TestAcroLoc := FORMAT(ProcessFileName.GetValue('HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\Acrobat.exe','Path','Registry Not Found'));
The return value of "TestAcroLoc" is 'null'.
I've tried an extra backslash at the end of the registry value with the same result. Also using double-backslashes instead of backslash.
Does anyone see any obvious errors?
Thanks.
