Error with large numbers in REG_DWORD and REG_QWORD

[zariweyo]

To solve this, please, in file regUtil.vbs replace CInt to CLng. (lines 37 and 43).

Thanks

@zariweyo could you please provide some code that will help me recreate the problem? thanks

It still fails for me after making changes suggested by zariweyo

                                                      let valuesToPut = {};
                                                      valuesToPut[s3] = {
                                                        'FolderValueFlags': {
                                                          value: 0x28,
                                                          type: 'REG_DWORD'
                                                        },
                                                        'Attributes': {
                                                          value: 0xF080004D,  
                                                          type: 'REG_DWORD'
                                                        }
                                                      };

                                                      regedit.putValue(valuesToPut, function(err) {
                                                        if(typeof err !== "undefined")
                                                          console.log(err);
                                                        else{
                                                          
                                                        }
                                                      })

@juanjo75es currently very busy... so it will take time to get to this. However, if you run into a solution in the meanwhile, please don't hesitate to send a PR

REG_DWORD

• CLng overflows at 0x80000000.
• Need to use CDbl for writing
• Need to conver Long to ULong for reading

[nhz-io]

REG_QWORD

• No conversion needed - SetQWORDValue accepts a String
• writing is limited to values below 9007199254740993 Precision
• reading is unaffected by precision limit

I dont see a way to overcome the precision limit on writing 😢

@kessler Well ... I solved my problem using:

var exec = require('child_process').exec;
exec( "reg add (...)" , function(error, stdout, stderr){});

But I guess it won't help you.

@juanjo75es thanks for sharing the solution :)
