similar to: how to import .hive file in wine registry

is there any possibility for converting .hive files .reg files or .txt files so that wine can handle it?

Hey, In windows we have a concept of "hive" in the registry. I'm trying to load the hive to wine registry, but wine is not able to recognizing the format of hive. Please help me out. Thanks, karthik

I'm pleased to announce the next release of hivex, a library and some tools for reading and writing Windows Registry hive files. Man page: http://libguestfs.org/hivex.3.html Source: http://libguestfs.org/download/hivex/ Git repo: http://git.annexia.org/?p=hivex.git;a=summary Fedora pkg: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3267857 This release mainly contains bug fixes.

I have a game for Windows where the entire game status is saved in the registry. The game works good under Wine. After a reinstallation the registry got wiped out and therefore my game status. (This game is not important, it could be any program which writes something very important into the registry which I need to restore) But I have an entire backup of my old Windows XP installation. Because

Hi, I was hoping I could modify a locally mounted registry hive using regpatch and a .reg file but the -F argument seems to have no function. (Strace shows it ignores it and just operates on /var/lib/samba/private/hklm.ldb) Below is output with debug on. rfm6 at ubuntuSSDx64:cp /mnt/xp/WINDOWS/system32/config/software /tmp/software rfm6 at ubuntuSSDx64:/tmp/config$ sudo regpatch -d=10 -F

Rich, Our workflow is something like this: 0. Start with a fresh copy of windows server 2k8 1. We read the system hive and then write to it a bunch of times 2. Boot windows 3. Read from the system hive Hivex reports the failure at step #3. I also noticed that the size of the registry hive observed in step #3 is the same as step #0. Is it possible that hivex issues write that cause a hive file

[Forwarding to the proper list] We use hivex for one of our projects and I see the following diff committed to the hivex project (source link provided) that ignores trailing garbage. But this code has been reverted to no ignore this condition in later version of hivex - /* This error is seemingly common in uncorrupt registry files. */ - /* - fprintf (stderr, "hivex: %s:

Hi Hilko, Thanks a lot for creating this test hive! I think another thing that will trip up Registry programs is value names that include back slashes. For example, under the System hive, the key "\MountedDevices" has child values with names like "\DosDevices\C:" (the leading backslash is a part of the value name). There are many other values that include backslashes. I

Is there a reason why a previous version of hivex ignored this condition while more recent ones throw an error? I do have some hive files that are failing (I'm yet to validate if they are good or were corrupted some other way). I will do so and share my findings Thanks ~ Hari On 9/24/13 5:20 PM, "Richard W.M.

Hi Rich, I'm still working on validating whether the trailing zeroes were introduced by hivex or by windows (though I highly doubt it's hivex). But since it's part of a more complex workflow which is not that easy to modify, it's still a work in progress In the meanwhile, I wanted to be sure that ignoring the condition when hivex saw these trailing zeroes was the right solution.

(Resending since my message from 2 days ago didn't make it to the list. Perhaps because of the log file attachment) Hi Rich, Sorry about the delayed response. I understand that since hive formats are not open, the current tack of warning about the hive file is a better one To respond to you question about "whether it fails", hivexsh is unable to open the hive file and it prints

Hi, I wounder if someone else had this same problem that I have, and solved it. So here it goes... I have 15 WinXP Pro workstations, on a Domain controlled by a Samba 2.2.8. The domain has 36 users, each with an independent roaming profile, on the PDC. Every machine have Adobe Premiere installed. However Premiere's configuration is saved on each user's registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive.

Hello all, I know that one of the original design goals of libhivex was to be resilient to corrupt, invalid, or malicious registry hives. I've encountered some undefined behavior in libhivex when attempting to open registry files that are too small. I'm not sure if this is a known issue per-se or not, so I figured I'd ask here on the mailing list before I jumped in and started adding

Dear all, I recently upgraded to Samba 2.0.3 and read the doc files about NT machines because I cannot connect to the Samba server. In the WinNT.txt file there is the following proposal: [ --- Start of pasted text --- ] The following registry entry change will re-enable clear text password handling: Run regedt32.exe and locate the hive key entry:

The infrastructure for modified-time reporting has been essentially unused. These changes report the registry time by treating the time fields as Windows filetime fields stored in little-Endian (which means they can be treated as a single 64-bit little-Endian integer). Some of the code changes necessary include: * Exposing the hive_h structure in the hivex header file (via generator.ml) *
