Libguestfs - Apr 2017 - Virt-win-reg gives weird error

Hello,

I have just compiled the libguestfs version 1.34.2.

When I run virt-win-reg vm-1051-disk-1.qcow2
'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce'
"Test"="c:\\Users\Administrator\test.bat” I get the following
error:

Can't exec "hivexget": No such file or directory at
/usr/local/bin/virt-win-reg line 351.
hivexget failed: -1 at /usr/local/bin/virt-win-reg line 351.

Any idea how to fix it?

Regards,
Peter

Yup, you need to install that program in order to export single keys.
It should be a dependency of virt-win-reg, assuming you installed it
from a distro package.  If not then it's part of the hivex package.

Thanks,

Turned out I need to install libhivex-bin in order to work, however now when I
run the command before I am getting the following error:

virt-win-reg --merge vm-1057-disk-1.qcow2
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce]
"Test"="C:\\Users\\Administrator\\test.bat" --debug
launching libguestfs ... at /usr/local/bin/virt-win-reg line 245.
inspecting guest ... at /usr/local/bin/virt-win-reg line 294.
open: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRunOnce]: No such
file or directory at /usr/local/bin/virt-win-reg line 359.

Any suggestions?

Regards,
Peter
