Check Registry is a utility tool used to repair broken registry hives offline on-demand, without the need to boot the ReactOS Text-Mode Setup (USETUP) in order to repair a broken hive.

The rationale behind the motive to make it as a host-tool is for ChkReg to be able to be portable, pretty much like our mkhive tool.

As it is a mere initial implementation, here are some things that need to be implemented or addressed in the future:

  • Verbose mode (display a list of each key in the hive we are attempting to heal, bin hive properties such as their sizes, etc.);
  • Implement support for healing broken hives with a hive log;
  • Opt in for an elegant way to display progress status when a hive analysis is in progress.

TODO

  • Write any fixed registry data from memory into the hive file storage (see the 3rd screenshot)
  • Fix a bug where the captured hive name is an empty string when this tool is compiled with GCC

JIRA Issue: CORE-19207

#4571 is needed in order for this tool to work.
