hi,
i am stuck in getting the RegQueryValueEx API to functions :(
i already used 6 hours to make it functions but still unable to success :(
i wish somebody could point me :)

Code:

format PE console 4.0
entry start

include '%fasminc%\win32a.inc'

section '.data' data readable writeable
    conHandleOut    dd  ?
    
    regHandle       dd  ?
    regKeySub       db  'Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main',0
    regItem         db  'Display Inline Images',0
    regItemValue:   times 10 db 0
    
    noticePass      db  13,10,'Passed',0
    noticeFail      db  13,10,'Failed',0

section '.code' code readable executable
    start:
        invoke  RegOpenKey,HKEY_CURRENT_USER,regKeySub,regHandle
        invoke  RegQueryValueEx,[regHandle],regItem,0,REG_SZ,[regItemValue],3
                cmp eax,0
                jne notice_fail

    notice_pass:
        stdcall console_print,regItemValue
        stdcall console_print,noticePass
                jmp exit
        
    notice_fail:
        stdcall console_print,noticeFail
    
    exit:
        invoke  ExitProcess,0

    proc    console_print,txt
                txtBuffer   dd  ?
                txtLength   dd  ?
            enter
                invoke  GetStdHandle,STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE
                        mov [conHandleOut],eax
                invoke  lstrlen,[txt]
                        mov [txtLength],eax
                        lea eax,[txtBuffer]
                invoke  WriteFile,[conHandleOut],[txt],[txtLength],eax,NULL
                        mov eax,[txtBuffer]
            return
    endp

section '.idata' import data readable writeable
    library kernel32,'KERNEL32.DLL',\
            advapi32,'ADVAPI32.DLL'
    
    import  kernel32,\
            lstrlen,        'lstrlenA',\
            GetStdHandle,   'GetStdHandle',\
            WriteFile,      'WriteFile',\
            ExitProcess,    'ExitProcess'
    
    import  advapi32,\
            RegOpenKey,                 'RegOpenKeyA',\
            RegQueryValueEx,            'RegQueryValueExA'

Add the two variables to your data section:

Code:

valueType dd ?
bufferSize dd 10

and use RegQueryValueEx this way:

Code:

invoke  RegQueryValueEx,[regHandle],regItem,0,valueType,regItemValue,bufferSize

This function fills the [valueType] variable with the type of value (REG_SZ or other), and the [bufferSize] variable with size of copied data (this variable should contain the actual size of buffer before you call this function).

oh man, you are GREAT Smile

thanks

privalov
you just save my another six hours Smile

anyone please confirm my understanding Smile

(coz i know you are busy)

does this mean, when using WinAPI, we must NOT fill the function parameters that are able to [in,out] or [out] with direct value. coz if i change the valueType to REG_SZ, i get passed but regItemValue == nothing?

i really appreciate your help. thank you very much d( 0 )b
