extract reg keys to prov xml
 

Hi,

I've used RapiConfig to extract email provisional xml

is there a way to extract reg keys right into prov xml. I wanna copy over the keys for my touch flo home screen right and left soft keys, as well as my program shortcuts, and a few other settings using a UC prov xml.

would be nice if I could extract right to prov xml so I would know I'm not making any syntax errors if it goofs up.

How bout a tutorial for advanced xml commands for WM cooking? I know there's tons that you can do with xml..

Re: extract reg keys to prov xml
 

There is quite a bit you can do with xml. If you want to suggest your top topics (specific) that you would like to see, myself and other users will certainly do em up for ya. But yeah, xml is quite versatile and has many uses. I know I've found it easier just to do provxml anymore in my rom.

Thanks. I'm honestly not sure what exactly I'm looking for. I guess I was hoping for a link to all the various xml commands that I could look over. Then when I saw something neat, I would go "Ooooh..."

Moving, adding, and deleting files via xml would be good for starters.

Here is a link to the MSDN Windows developer site and the EMAIL2 CSP. Poke around at this site and it's full of info...

I can't list them all, but I use xml for:
moving files, deleting files, copying files, registry edits and a few other things.

Awesome, thanks! I'm good with the reg edits, but if you can help me with moving/copying/deleting files, it would be appreciated.

I will poke around the site you linked to when I have a chance..

Well, I'm kind of a noob to posting here but I understand most of the in's and out's of these phones and I've written a little program that does exactly what you need. I call it SimpleScript. I modeled it after the SDConfig.txt commands so I could use it to create scripts similar to that or even run that one later after UC was done. That way if I changed my XML registry backups, I could reprovision them. On the side, I wrote my own Registry2XML (not to be confused with REG2XML) and XML2Registry programs. I then combined these 3 and started adding my own commands and functionality. Still working on it a little, but I use it like crazy. Currently adding functionality and learning C++ to translate it from VB.NET to C++ for speed. Basically, it has the following functionality:

-Input XML file, it will provision "Registry" and "FileOperation" sections (still working on FileOperation a little, but Registry works perfectly.)
-Input Registry Key (ex. HKCU\Software\Microsoft), it exports the entire key to XML file (ex. Microsoft.XML)
-Input any other file, it will attempt to read it looking for certain config commands (similar to those used in SDConfig.txt)

Functionality I might add:
-Convert REG or RGU to XML (I just want to convert these to XML. Then if I want them in the registry, I'll input the XML to my program. I could then write a script that would combine those two actions.)

There is no GUI. This is command-line only. The really cool thing I added is the ability to input multiple commands on the command line. For example:
SimpleScript.exe HKCU\Software\Microsoft HKCU\Software\a_c, HKLM\System S2U2.XML, Script.txt

There are a LOT of other really nifty little features I added, but I'll leave it to you the community to decide if you're interested. Just e-mail or PM me with questions/comments/requests/ideas/etc.

Also, if anyone has any ideas on how to provision a EMAIL2 section, please lead me in the right direction. That particular functionality will hopefully be added when I get more time to research it.

Thanks

If anyone has any ideas
