Good morning,
I have a problem concerning a registry key modification package.
Here is the code:
Code: Select all
def install():
registry_setstring(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\\SAP BusinessObjects\\Suite XI 4.0\\Crystal Reports\\FetchOptions",'NTablesMax','7530', type=REG_DWORD)
pass
wapt cannot read the type and gives me an error: FATAL ERROR: ValueError: Could not convert the data to the specified type.

Hello Morgane,
Python doesn't like spaces very much. For escapes, you need to put an 'r' before the string. In your case, it would look like this:
Code: Select all
def install():
registry_setstring(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, r"Software\SAP BusinessObjects\Suite XI 4.0\Crystal Reports\FetchOptions",'NTablesMax','7530', type=REG_DWORD)
pass
PS: (From memory), wapt already adds the two backslashes
Is this better?
Étienne

Unfortunately, no.
It still displays the same error: FATAL ERROR: ValueError: Could not convert the data to the specified type

Looking at the Python method, when using a DWORD key, you must use an integer , not a string, as an argument.
So, 7530 without the single quotes.

Thank you, the order is no longer showing an error, but there is a new problem.
The data should be 0x00007530 (30000)

and with the command it becomes 0x00001d6a (7530)

Ah, okay.
So you wanted to change the value to '0x00007530' at first, I didn't understand.
In that case, you just need to replace 7530 with 30000, I think.
