hear i have a hex value, i don't know what was the original value just this :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ESET\ESET Security\CurrentVersion\Plugins\01000400\Profiles\@My profile]
"Username"="test"
"Password"=hex:50,d6,e6,e9,ee,f0,cf,f2,6e,64,03,ad
I want to add these values to registry, I tried using command promp with administrator Privileges with the following command for username :
REG ADD HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ESET\ESET Security\CurrentVersion\Plugins\01000400\Profiles\@My profile /v Username /d test /f
it worked like a charm. Then I added the following line to app.manifest File in VS2010 :
<requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false" />
in order to get administrative privileges and I used the following :
private string GETCMD(string com)
{
string tempGETCMD = null;
Process CMDprocess = new Process();
System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo StartInfo = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo();
StartInfo.FileName = "cmd"; //starts cmd window
StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
StartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = true;
StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false; //required to redirect
CMDprocess.StartInfo = StartInfo;
CMDprocess.Start();
System.IO.StreamReader SR = CMDprocess.StandardOutput;
System.IO.StreamWriter SW = CMDprocess.StandardInput;
SW.WriteLine(com);
//insert your other commands here
SW.WriteLine("exit"); //exits command prompt window
tempGETCMD = SR.ReadToEnd(); //returns results of the command window
SW.Close();
SR.Close();
return tempGETCMD;
}
It returns that " The operation completed successfully " but nothing is changed in registry
I tried setting value directly to registry using c# functions but it didn't work.
whats wrong here?
how i can set these values to registry ?
why it is working by command prompt when I type the command manually but not programmatic, even when the program is started as administrator?
