hivex has a function hivex_value_string. We were not calling it under the mistaken belief that because hivex implements this using iconv, the function wouldn't work inside the daemon. Instead we reimplemented the functionality in the library. This commit deprecates hivex_value_utf8 and removes the library side code. It replace...

This adds most of the hivex APIs directly to the libguestfs API, so that you can read and write Windows Registry hive files from libguestfs without needing to download and upload hive files from the guest. This is analogous to how Augeas APIs are exposed already (guestfs_aug_*) Also, inspection is now done using the new APIs, which fixes the following bug:

It seems newer versions of VMware Tools for Windows can be uninstalled also when the guest does not run on VMware anymore. Hence, attempt to uninstall them during a conversion, reusing the same code already used to uninstall Parallel Tools. This was tested with the following Windows guests: - Windows 2008r2 - Windows 2012r2 - Windows 2016 - Windows 7 - Windows 8 - Windows 10 Pino Toscano (2):

The following patches address issues when dealing with hives that have corrupted data in them but are otherwise readable/writable. Those were found on some rather rare Windows installations that seem to work fine but current hivex fails to even open. Those patches change hivex to simply log and ignore such "corrupted" regions instead of aborting because the caller might be looking at

This patch is just for discussion. There are still a couple of issues that I'm trying to fix. One is that all of the test guests I have, even ones with static IPs, have multiple interfaces, some using DHCP, so the conditions for adding the Powershell script don't kick in. This makes testing very awkward. However a bigger issue is that I think the premise is wrong. In some registries
