allocatecdroms bad type REG_DWORD

[praetorian]

ImgBurn version 2.5.0.0 probably incorrectly modifies registry during setup. It adds allocatecdroms with bad type REG_DWORD

instead of correct data type REG_SZ.

Fixed, thanks.

Hello !

 

 

I checked on Vista 64 bit and on Seven 64 bit, the registry value is also wrong (but seem to be placed elsewhere), but here is the interesting part :

It doesn't seem to make any problem, I can burn while logged in as a standard user.

 

Is it expected that this bug doesn't affect Vista and Seven ?

Or is there some hidden problem that I will find later ?

 

 

Thanks.

 

PS : I also use the "Enable SPTI access for All Users" setting.

Where exactly are you seeing the 'allocatecdroms' entry in the registry?

Where exactly are you seeing the 'allocatecdroms' entry in the registry?

 

 

The REG_DWORD (which has a value of 0x00000001) is here (on Windows Seven 64 bit) :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\allocatecdroms

 

The "WOW6432node" is automatically used to re-direct x86 apps running under x64.

 

 

There are also 2 other entries, but they are not keys, only sub-directories in the registry :

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SeCEdit\Reg Values\MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion/Winlogon/AllocateCDRoms

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SeCEdit\Reg Values\MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion/Winlogon/AllocateCDRoms

 

 

Cheers.

Hi,

 

Do you think this will cause some hidden problem that I will find later on Vista or on Seven ?

 

Thanks !

No idea, but I doubt it.

 

I've modified the installer to insert the entry in the 'normal' key as well as the 'wow6432node' one.

Thanks a lot !
