REG_DWORD entries in hex or decimal?

Just gotten an error on installation of a package:
Syntax Error in Section: Registry_install_AllProfiles (Command in line 1228): set "ScreenBufferSize" = REG_DWORD:0bb80091 -> 0bb80091 is no valid number
This works:
Code: Alles auswählen
openkey [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Cache\Content]
set "CacheLimit"= REG_DWORD:00131072
This does not:
Code: Alles auswählen
openkey [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console\%SystemRoot%_system32_cmd.exe]
set "ScreenBufferSize" = REG_DWORD:0bb80091
Do we have to convert these hex values to decimal? This would end up as 196608145, which is longer than the 8 bytes of REG_DWORD...
Yeah I know, I should test it first before asking questions.. Blame the beer

By the way, the [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console\%SystemRoot%_system32_cmd.exe] key gets expanded to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console\C:\WINDOWS_system32_cmd.exe], which is not supposed to happen, as this is a real registry key. The workaround is of course to use a separate .reg file and import this, but still.

Hello SisterOfMercy,
did you try using REG_DWORD is used to save integer values. For hex data you can use REG_BINARY.
Did you try that?
Kind regards

Well, in the registry the value is a DWORD, so I used REG_DWORD for that. Have to look into it.

'Fixed' this the following way:
Code: Alles auswählen
DefVar $escSystemroot$
Set $escSystemroot$ = "%" + "Systemroot" + "%"
[registry_install_allusers]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console\$escSystemroot$_system32_cmd.exe]
set $escSystemroot$ = EscapeString:%Systemroot%
did not work, this also got converted to c:\windows

'Fixed' this as well, it does not matter if it is longer than 8 bytes, it gets converted back as it should. So with an export of a .reg file from regedit you would have to convert the values of the dwords to decimal.

I recently read something in the manual...
Would this work?
Code: Alles auswählen
set "ScreenBufferSize" = REG_DWORD:0x0bb80091
previously:
set "ScreenBufferSize" = REG_DWORD:0bb80091
