Error making .hv files, errors even on unchnaged files??
 

I am having an issue making .hv files. I copy the default.hv, run the batch file and get my default.txt out. I then edit it adding the REGEDIT4 and a blank line and re-save as unicode. But everytime I try to save it back to an .hv with the batch file, it errors. This is happening on files that I do not modify as well. I have word wrap off in notepad as well. The error is as follows:

Microsoft (R) RGUComp Version 1.0.000
Registry file processor and hive builder.

Press any key to continue . . .

Any ideas why this is? I need to get some entries in my custom ROM to get the Crossbow RDP cleint in my AKU 3.3. Its anoyng to have to import the reg post :)

Thanks,

You have a syntax error or something wrong with this reg entry. This is the error you are looking for.

Failed to parse value name HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETCompactF ram
ework\Installer\Assemblies\Reference\CustomMarshal ers, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=

Find that entry and figure out why it is wrong. :D

Send me what you are trying to get in and I can format it for you so all you have to do is copy and paste.

Can you post your reg entries abd file list for the rdp ckient? I took a couple guesses but I keep getting a certification error.

colonel: This is actauly a copy of the default.hv from your release. This error is happening without adding any changes outside of extracting the txt and adding the regedit entry and saving as unicode. All the other values are as you packaged it and why I am curious as to why I am seeing errors. This also happens with other .hv from other releases.

Bushrod:
Files include: wpctsc.exe, mstscax.dll, MvkLib.dll, tscscan.txt, tscshift.txt
reg:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE]
"LoadRdp"="1"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client]
"MapVirtualKeyLib"="\\Windows\\MvkLib.dll"
"CEConfig"="Maxall"
"BitmapPersistCacheLocation"="\\Temp"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\ FilterFsd]

Without the reg entries, the keyboard will not transfer to the client. I have this working in my release and it works much better than the original. I will probably post my release in a bit if your after these changes. Working on a slim lined package with some bits from 3.5 and wm6. Figure with a slim base people can then add whatever they want. :)

Here is the problem. For some reason when you open or save it is changing the formatting. The [HKEY...] lines should be all the way to the left. The following lines should be 2 spaces in. Like this:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client]
"MapVirtualKeyLib"="\\Windows\\MvkLib.dll"
"CEConfig"="Maxall"
"BitmapPersistCacheLocation"="\\Temp"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\ FilterFsd]
"BootPhase"=dword:00000002
"RootPath"=""
"FolderName"="FILTERFS"
"MountFlags"="1"
"LoadFlags"="1"
"Paging"="0"
"Dll"="filterfsd.dll"

So, try to figure out why this is gettng changed. Good luck :D

Edit: Well that didn't show up in the post for some reason so maybe that isn't the problem. Find the key that is in the error and post it. Make sure Word Wrap is not on.

Also, I haven't looked at the crossbow rom yet. Anything else worth trying to grab from it?

colonel: The thing is that the reg entries you just looked at were not added. I could not get it to go using your default values. I extracted your values to text then tried to re-import as is just to see if it was something I was doing. Tried it on two different pc as well with the same problem.

Here is a link to the files I have worked with:
http://saridnour.homedns.org/temp/desktop.zip
These are the same as you used in you release. See if you can see anything with them.

I found more in 3.5 to work with than in WM6. I used a few bits where I could and am still digging through it. RDP was the feature that I was after more than anything.

Still, go to this entry and paste it

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETCompactF ram
ework\Installer\Assemblies\Reference\CustomMarshal ers, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=
neutral, PublicKeyToken=969DB8053D3322AC!!!

This is where the error is since the batch is telling you this. Whether or not you edited it on purpose, this is were there is something wrong. I am guessing that it is a long string that is not formatted correctly due to word wrap or something else. Find that entry and upload it to me.

Oops, actually read you post and saw the link. Double back slashes when refering to a file

"DLL"="\\Windows\\FileAsFL.dll"

so it should be:


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETCompactF ramework\Installer\Assemblies\Reference\CustomMars halers, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=969DB8053D3322AC]

Try that with all the entries, this is what I have:

it must have gotten converted somewhere. Let me know

That was it,

it reformatted to:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETCompactF ramework\Installer\Assemblies\Reference\mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=969DB8053D3322AC]
"\Windows\Microsoft .NET CF 2.0.GAC"=dword:0

Instead of:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETCompactF ramework\Installer\Assemblies\Reference\mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=969DB8053D3322AC]
"\\Windows\\Microsoft .NET CF 2.0.GAC"=dword:00000000

Note the last line:
"\Windows\Microsoft .NET CF 2.0.GAC"=dword:0
"\\Windows\\Microsoft .NET CF 2.0.GAC"=dword:00000000

It did do a little re-formatting to those lines.

Thanks for posting the originals :)

Thanks. I was missing a couple reg entries. Unfortunately, I still can't get it working. I guess I'll wait for your slim rom.

Are you also using wptsc1.exe?
